From Illinois --

We are happy to report that our other piece of legislation passed the

Illinois General Assembly unopposed this week.

SB 1304 is a bill that restricts persons who have financial investments in

pharmaceutical companies that make vaccines from serving on the Immunization

Advisory Committee. This seem common sense, but it had to be done in order

to give a more balanced discussion to the committee and its findings. We

know this is a small step, but at least it's in the right direction!

Also, I was able to get in to see the Governor of Illinois this week, who

personally guarantee that he would sign both of our pieces -- removing those

who use religious or medical exemptions for mandatory vaccinations from

investigation by the DCFS (SB 1305) -- AND the conflicts of interest

legislation (SB 1304).

We are well on our way to two victories here in our state of Illinois.
