Illinois Senate pushes state out of church day care
The Illinois Senate voted 38 to 15 to override Governor Thompson and bar state licensing of church run day care centers except for fire and building safety codes. The bill would exclude centers operated as part of a church ministry or religious nonprofit school from licensing, amid clashes between Moral Majority supporters and church groups. The measure heads to the House for a likely close vote.

Senate Reverses Course on Social Security Minimum Benefit
The Republican Senate voted 95 to 0 to restore the $122 monthly minimum Social Security benefit for most of the 3 million recipients affected, while broader tax and funding tweaks aim to shore up the Social Security trust fund. The plan retains limits based on other pensions and preserves the minimum for current beneficiaries, with court measures to balance the budget by 1984. The vote followed Democratic pressure and reflects a sharp reversal from earlier elimination proposals.
