Illinois--Harmful Daytime Curfew Bill Stopped by Homeschoolers
Dear HSLDA members and friends:
Thank you for your calls. You were successful in stopping House Bill 1130 from proceeding any further in the Illinois Legislature.
Due to the overwhelming number of calls received from homeschoolers, the sponsor of House Bill 1130, Representative Dave Winters, has promised not to call the bill for a vote in its present form.
Representative Winters may still try to bring an amended bill before the committee, but has expressed a desire to work with the homeschooling community to ensure that constitutional freedoms are protected. However, since any type of daytime curfew is a threat to these freedoms HSLDA cannot agree with any amended curfew bill.
For now, the victory has been won because of your efforts. Several of the longtime Representatives in the Local Government Committee said they had never received so many calls on an issue before!
Please stand ready if there is another need for calls later in the year. Hopefully, Representative Winters will be discouraged from pursuing any other type of curfew.
Thank you for being vigilant and willing to make sacrifices to protect and expand our constitution freedoms and liberties. Your calls and membership with HSLDA make these victories possible.

Sincerely,
Chris Klicka HSLDA Senior Counsel
