4 Bills Gov. Rauner Should Sign Into Law

The Better Government Association is urging Gov. Rauner to sign four bills, recently passed by the Illinois General Assembly, into law. In four letters to the governor, signed by BGA president and CEO Andy Shaw, the watchdog organization stressed its support for the legislation and outlined why these reforms are needed.

The BGA’s policy team, which operates separately from its investigations unit, is advocating for bills that focus on: streamlining the size of Illinois government; improving government transparency and accountability; ending certain pension abuses; and bolstering civic engagement through automatic voter registration.

In his letters to the governor, Shaw notes that each of these bills passed with bipartisan support and they are designed to improve the lives of Illinois residents.

Here is a summary of those bills.
