SB 1486 Raises Premiums And Reduces Consumer Choice
Monday, Apr 13, 2026 - Posted by Advertising Department [The following is a paid advertisement.] Illinois is home to one of the most competitive insurance markets in the nation. Hundreds of insurers fight for consumers, leaving families better protected than those in other states. SB 1486, described by the Daily Herald as “controversial legislation,” could eliminate that system and, in its place, leave Illinois with the most extreme regulatory framework in the nation. This legislation could:
• Cause insurers to scale back coverage • Result in companies leaving the marketplace entirely These policies have been tried in other states, leading to skyrocketing costs for consumers and limited options for coverage. Don’t bring California style overregulation to Illinois. Click here to learn more.

Built For Illinois. Built With Transparency.
Monday, Apr 13, 2026 - Posted by Advertising Department [The following is a paid advertisement.] Public safety technology only works when communities trust it. That’s why Flock Safety built privacy and transparency into every layer of our system from the beginning of the design cycle — not as an afterthought. In Illinois, that means:
• Only local law enforcement decides who can access data. Flock never shares without explicit permission. • Compliant with Illinois law. Sharing data with out of state agencies is regulated. • Automatic deletion. All LPR data is permanently deleted in accordance with an agency’s retention schedule. • No backdoors. Private customers cannot access law enforcement data. • No facial recognition. • Flock Safety is trusted by hundreds of Illinois law enforcement agencies — from Crystal Lake to Champaign — because we believe safety and privacy have to coexist. Not someday. Now. See how we’re building trust in Illinois.

Pay For Electricity Or Pay For A Prescription? 340B Is A Lifesaver – Support HB 2371 SA 2
Friday, Apr 10, 2026 - Posted by Advertising Department [The following is a paid advertisement.] 340B was a lifesaver for Correy Bell. With chronic asthma and bronchitis, Bell relies on an inhaler. One time, she found herself in a frightening scenario: out of town for work with no inhaler. Bell, a comedian, owns her own business and is uninsured. “I went to the pharmacy. I was confident that I had figured it out and then they told me the price,” she said. “The cost was so high that I actually had to stop and make a decision that no one should have to make: Do I pay a bill, or do I keep the lights on, or do it get my medicine?… That’s when I was able to find out about 340B.” A long-time patient at Family Christian Health Center, Bell said the 340B drug discount program helped her access needed medication at a price she could afford—“no confusing hoops, no shame, no judgment, just real savings when I needed it the most,” she said at a rally last month for House Bill 2371 SA 2, the Patient Access to Pharmacy Protection Act. State Rep. Anna Moeller, lead House sponsor of HB 2371 SA 2, said at the rally that the bill is “a vital step in protecting access to affordable medications for patients who rely on this program. And it doesn’t cost Illinois one dime.” Stand with patients like Correy Bell. VOTE YES on HB 2371 SA 2 this session. Learn more.
