ACTION ALERT: Submit a Witness Slip in Favor of HB 5482/SB 3109!
Today at 3PM, SB 3109 will be heard by the Senate Licensed Activities and Pensions Committee at the Capitol in Springfield. HB5482/SB 3109 is the professional licenses – citizenship and immigration status bill which, if passed, will ensure:
- No one will be denied a teacher, lawyer, doctor, nurse, or social worker license (or various other professional licenses) solely because of his or her citizenship or immigration status.
- Allows license applicants to provide an IRS-issued tax number in place of a social security number on the application.
