SPRINGFIELD – Last week, State Representative Jed Davis (R-Yorkville) passed a common-sense bill through committee requiring elected community college board members to take an oath upholding the Constitutions of the United States and Illinois upon being sworn into office. The bill passed unanimously through the Higher Education Committee.
“Currently, community college board members are the only elected office in Illinois not required to take an oath upholding the Constitution,” said Davis. “This bill simply aligns community college trustees with all other elected officials in the state. It also represents the values of freedom and liberty we cherish as Americans.”
House Bill 3011 now awaits further action on the House floor.
