Office of State Representative Bob Morgan (IL-58)

Every opportunity I have to visit the Northern Suburban Special Recreation Association (NSSRA) is a treat! They are a phenomenal program, providing year-round recreation programs for people with disabilities. Thank you to Craig and the rest of the team for showing me around your organization.

My interns had an opportunity to meet with Lake County Clerk Anthony Vega, Mayor Nancy Rotering, and Highland Park City Manager Ghida Neukirch today to discuss how young professionals can get their start working in local and county government. A big thank you to our local leaders for sharing their insights and experiences!

Last week, Governor JB Pritzker signed two of my bills into state law! With this legislation, Illinois continues to move forward as a state leader, reflecting our commitment to creating a brighter future for all Illinoisans.

Earlier today, Clearbrook invited State Representative Lindsey LaPointe, State Representative Nicolle Grasse, and my staff to tour their various Intellectual and Developmental Disability programs. We're grateful for Clearbrook's innovative approaches to enriching the lives of individuals with disabilities!

As Chair of the Health Care Licenses Committee, I led a hearing on legislation concerning pharmacists' scope of practice & dental therapist licensure. I look forward to future conversations with stakeholders to expand healthcare access while maintaining patient safety across Illinois!

Meeting and hearing directly from constituents is always a highlight of my job! Our Joint Town Hall had an incredible turnout, where we discussed a variety of topics, ranging from the state budget and pensions to health care and gun safety. In case you missed it and have any remaining questions, please email my office at info@repbobmorgan.com so we can help address your concerns!

With Illinois leading the nation in health insurance reform, the Healthcare Protection Act has enacted some of the strongest behavioral and physical health protections ever in the United States. By banning junk insurance, ending step therapy and prior authorization for mental health, and lowering health insurance rates, we are making healthcare more affordable and accessible. This legislation will be used as a benchmark for future efforts towards a healthier Illinois.

Yesterday, State Senator Julie Morrison, State Representative Tracy Katz Muhl, and I had the opportunity to connect with our Library Directors and Library Board Presidents from across our districts to discuss the importance of investing in our public resources. With safety and accessibility being top concerns, I am committed to ensuring our libraries are supported in the years to come!
