SPRINGFIELD – State Senator Adriane Johnson’s measure bringing Illinois in line with national standards regarding environmental covenants is now law.

“Our environment directly affects our health,” said Johnson (D-Buffalo Grove). “It is my hope that together, we can improve our environment for a safer community.”

Johnson’s legislation will protect the health of the community and the environment by expanding the state’s ability to establish land use restrictions.  These tools are necessary to protect resident’s health and the environment against inadvertent exposures to residual contamination while encouraging economic redevelopment by upholding an environmental standard.

“I’m proud to support Illinois in environmentally conscious efforts,” said Johnson.

House Bill 2278 was signed into law Friday and goes into effect on Jan. 1, 2024.

SPRINGFIELD – The Illinois Senate approved the Fiscal Year 2024 Budget Thursday, which included an investment for crisis response efforts, an expansion of housing support and an increase of job opportunities for homeless individuals.

 State Senator Adriane Johnson (D-Buffalo Grove) released the following statement in response:

“Inflation and the economic hardships exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic created challenges for hardworking families. Illinois has delivered a responsible budget to provide greater assistance to low- and middle-class families.

“By creating and expanding existing programs that provide housing support and increase job opportunities for the homeless, our state is making an effort to assist those in need of housing and employment assistance. I am proud of our collective efforts to make Illinois a more welcoming, inclusive state.”

Senator Adriane Johnson

SPRINGFIELD – State Senator Adriane Johnson led a measure through the Senate to allow people with previous felony convictions to serve as an executor of someone else’s estate if expressly named.  

“We are taking a vital step to restore dignity and honor to families throughout Illinois to carry out the last wishes and affairs of loved ones,” said Johnson (D-Buffalo Grove). “Families should be free to choose who takes on this sacred duty. This measure will be one less domino in the effects of permanent punishments that devastate children, families, and communities of color across Illinois.”

House Bill 1268 would allow people with previous felony convictions to act as executor of someone else’s estate. Under the measure, a convicted felon could only serve as an executor if the deceased person expressly names that person in their will and acknowledges they know the person is a convicted felon.

“This was personal for me because my father trusted me enough to appoint me his executor before he passed away and I was unable to carry out his last wishes due to a now over 25 year conviction,” said Marlon Chamberlain, Fully Free Campaign Manager. “HB 1268 restores the right to choose during one of the most difficult moments in life.”
