Springfield, IL…State Representative Patrick Sheehan (R-Homer Glen) proudly announces that his first bill, HB1938, has successfully passed the committee stage of the legislative process.
“I am thrilled that HB1938 has moved forward in the legislative process, especially as my first bill out of committee,” said Rep. Sheehan. “This legislation is important for improving the efficiency and accountability of our local governments. I am grateful for the committee’s bipartisan support and look forward to continuing to advocate for this bill.”
HB1938 amends the Decennial Committees on Local Government Efficiency Act to make it more precise and applicable. The bill specifically changes the definition of “governmental unit” within the Act to make sure that fire protection districts, which are established under the Fire Protection District Act, are not included in this definition. By doing so, the bill ensures that the rules and guidelines set out in the Act are applied accurately to the appropriate government entities, promoting better management and efficient use of taxpayer resources.
Rep. Sheehan remains committed to working with his colleagues to advance the bill through the legislative process and ultimately to the Governor’s desk for signature.
Rep. Sheehan proudly serves the people of the 37th District.
