HB2093 passed out of the IL Senate today

HB2093 passed out of the IL Senate today and is on its way to the Governor.
 


It passed the House on April 7, 2011 with 110 yes, 0 Nays and 0 Present;  it passed out of the Senate on May 12, 2011 with 57 yes, 0 Nays and 0 Present.

This bill amends the Abused and Neglected Child Reporting Act. Extends the list of persons required to report child abuse or neglect to include any physician, physician's assistant, registered nurse, licensed practical nurse, medical technician, certified nursing assistant, social worker, licensed professional counselor, office personnel, or volunteer of any office, clinic, or any other physical location that provides abortions, abortion counseling, abortion referrals, contraceptives, contraceptive counseling, sex education, or gynecological care and services.

We feel that the Governor will sign the bill since it passed without any opposition.  This is a victory for the pro-life movement in Illinois!
