The Legislative and Governmental Affairs Committee has developed a list of priorities for DuPage County to propose and support during the 2018 spring session of the Illinois General Assembly. A brief discussion was held on the nine legislative priorities. The Committee voted unanimously in support of Resolution LEG-R-0039-18, which adopts the County’s Legislative Program. The record should reflect that Member Khouri opposes the County’s legislative priority of prohibiting tobacco sales until age 21, as you are an adult at age 18.
