1 | HOUSE RESOLUTION
| ||||||
2 | WHEREAS, In the 2017 spring session of the 100th General | ||||||
3 | Assembly, both houses of the General Assembly considered and, | ||||||
4 | with partisan votes, passed a bill, House Bill 40, that was | ||||||
5 | primarily drafted to expand state funding for abortions; and
| ||||||
6 | WHEREAS, On April 14, 2017, Bruce Rauner, at a time when | ||||||
7 | the Governor was in full awareness of HB 40 and its intended | ||||||
8 | purpose, publicly pledged that he would veto the bill; and
| ||||||
9 | WHEREAS, Illinois is already one of the highest-taxed | ||||||
10 | states in the United States, especially after the adoption of | ||||||
11 | the recent 32% increase in the income tax rate, and it is not | ||||||
12 | appropriate to expand state funding for abortions; therefore, | ||||||
13 | be it
| ||||||
14 | RESOLVED, BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES OF THE ONE | ||||||
15 | HUNDREDTH GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS, that we | ||||||
16 | call upon Governor Bruce Rauner to immediately honor his pledge | ||||||
17 | to veto HB 40; and be it further
| ||||||
18 | RESOLVED, That a copy of this resolution be presented to | ||||||
19 | Governor Bruce Rauner.
