In a recent statement, a group of legislators emphasized their duty to represent the people of Illinois and make decisions that are in the best interest of the state.
"The people of Illinois send us to Springfield to represent them and make the best possible decisions for our state," one lawmaker stated. Another highlighted that "Ceding our responsibility and sovereignty to California bureaucrats is not an option."

In response to the opposition, a representative expressed gratitude, stating, "Thank you to all filed in opposition to this bad bill."
As the debate continues, it remains to be seen how Illinois lawmakers will proceed in addressing the issue of adopting California emissions standards within the state.
