Illinois senators push two safety options for gun owners
Statehouse News Service reports Senators Mahar and Radogno moved gun safety legislation from a Senate committee to the full Senate. The bill offers two paths: store guns out of reach or fit weapons with disablement devices, with misdemeanor penalties if a child under 14 accesses an unsecured gun and harms someone. Testimony cited Chicago mother Chanty Williams and Dr. Robert Tanz detailing child firearm injuries and urging action.

House approves plan to end double whammy school revenue loss
The Illinois House passed a measure to stop the double whammy of revenue loss for tax capped school districts. The bill would raise state aid for fiscal 2000 to 65 million dollars, offsetting local property tax limits, with costs rising in subsequent years. The legislation now heads to the Senate and then the governor for approval.
