SPRINGFIELD – State Senator Suzy Glowiak Hilton supported a measure on Tuesday to protect licensed medical professionals from intrusive laws of other states.

 

“Illinois health care professionals should not lose their licenses or be penalized because of the restrictive laws of neighboring states,” said Glowiak Hilton (D-Western Springs). “With this measure, we are protecting health care professionals who are doing the right thing.”

 

The measure protects Illinois professionals from being penalized for providing care that is prohibited in other states. Further, it protects the right to fertility treatment throughout the state.

 

“Simply put: a doctor licensed in Missouri and Illinois, whose license is suspended in Missouri for referring a woman to a reproductive health clinic, should not have their license suspended in Illinois,” Glowiak Hilton said. “Medical professionals should not worry about their professional licenses being jeopardized for performing health care services that are legal in Illinois but prohibited in other states.”

 

House Bill 4664 passed in the Senate Tuesday.

SGH 032922HAO00591OAKBROOK TERRACE – As winter temperatures continue to plummet, Senator Suzy Glowiak Hilton is encouraging drivers to utilize the winter road conditions map on the Illinois Department of Transportation’s website.

“The holiday season always brings increased travel, and we need to be safe,” said Senator Suzy Glowiak Hilton (D-Western Springs). “Using this resource from IDOT can allow residents to take precautions before their drive, which will help keep families and our communities safe.”

GettingAroundIllinois.com is available on your computer and optimized for smartphones. The site includes the ability to identify and zoom in on a location, travel route or destination on a state map. The map is updated frequently through a cloud-based system to provide a general overview on IDOT-maintained highways

“Everyone knows the weather in Illinois can turn on a dime,” said Glowiak Hilton “Reviewing this IDOT weather map is a simple and effective way to stay up to date on road conditions.”

The road conditions map averages more than 2.5 million page views during snow-and-ice season, featuring a color scheme of pinks and blues to differentiate from the red, yellow and green of traffic congestion reporting, as well as to increase accessibility for those who have difficulty distinguishing colors.

111622 SGHSPRINGFIELD – State Senator Suzy Glowiak Hilton joined Native American advocates at the Illinois Capitol on Wednesday to introduce an initiative to allow students to wear items of cultural significance at commencement ceremonies.

“High school graduation ceremonies mark a special moment in a student’s life. It’s the culmination of years of education, hard work and starting the line of adulthood,” said Senator Glowiak Hilton (D-Western Springs). “Commencements are meant to honor students and their accomplishments, and this initiative will allow students to appropriately celebrate their family’s history.”

Senator Glowiak Hilton filed Senate Bill 4242 with support from the Native American Chamber of Commerce after former Evanston high school student Nimkii Curley was denied the opportunity to participate in his graduation ceremony for decorating his cap with culturally-significant items from his heritage.

Sen. Glowiak Hilton: Check and replace smoke detector batteries while updating clocks for daylight saving

Fgvm2jaXEAQSanYOAKBROOK TERRACE – With daylight saving time coming to an end this weekend, State Senator Suzy Glowiak Hilton is reminding households to also check and change their smoke detector batteries as needed.

“It’s time to fall back, and daylight saving also serves as an important reminder to make sure your smoke detectors are working,” said Senator Glowiak Hilton (D-Western Springs). “This is a helpful habit to ensure your household is safe.”

If you find an alarm that is not working or is expired, replace the alarm immediately with a new 10-year sealed battery alarm. It’s also a great time to review your family’s fire escape plan.

Between the years 2014-2018, the National Fire Protection Association reported that almost three out of every five home fire deaths in the U.S. resulted from fires in homes with no smoke alarms or non-working smoke alarms. The chances of dying in a home fire was reduced by 55% in homes where working smoke alarms are present.

“Working smoke alarms are one of the best and least expensive means of providing an early warning of a potentially deadly fire in your home,” said Senator Glowiak Hilton. “Maintaining the alarm is a simple way to help keep your family members and pets safe from harm.”
