The Illinois House of Representatives has unanimously passed Senate Bill 3405 with a vote of 106-0. State Representative Chris Miller (R-Hindsboro), the Chief Sponsor of the bill, stated that the legislation aims to assist individuals struggling with addictions or PTSD.
“This legislation will provide people with transportation who need to visit problem-solving courts for counseling or classes,” said Rep. Miller. “Substance abuse and PTSD are challenges to address in Illinois, and this bill will help improve these areas of treatment. People that need help and more support will have it under SB3405.”
Senate Bill 3405 permits counties to allocate funds by law or ordinance for transportation purposes, specifically targeting rides for individuals seeking to visit problem-solving courts in Illinois, particularly in Coles County. The bill is designed to enhance services in rural areas across the state.
With 24 proponents backing the bill, it now awaits the Governor’s signature to become law.
