South suburban lawmakers sponsor a broad safety package requiring districts to review and update safety plans, train staff, and immunize officials in violent incidents. The package also adds pest control records, opt outs from School-to-Work, school speed zone surcharges, stricter drug penalties near schools, and mandatory notification for convicted child sex offenders.

Illinois governor signs tough child support law
Gov. George H. Ryan signed a bill creating criminal penalties for willful nonpayment of court ordered child support. The law grades offenses from a Class A misdemeanor to a Class 4 felony, with license suspensions possible for those more than 60 days behind. It aims to deter deadbeat parents and model for other states.
