AMERICAN CONSERVATIVE UNION’S 2015 Ratings of Illinois

Dear Fellow Conservatives,

I am pleased to present the American Conservative Union Foundation’s ratings for the 2015 meeting of the Illinois General Assembly. Like our Congressional Ratings, our State Ratings reflect how elected officials view the role of government in an individual's life. The Illinois legislators with the strongest scores voted most consistently with the ideals articulated in the US Constitution: limited and transparent government, individual rights, personal responsibility, and a healthy culture.

The 2014 election completed a political transformation that began in 2010 and resulted in voters of almost half the states, 23 in all, entrusting Republicans with the governorships as well as control of both chambers in the respective state, the biggest sweep since the first half of the 20th Century.

By examining all our State Ratings (which cover a wide variety of issues) we can see which states have best used their Republican majorities to apply conservative principles, how others have struggled, and in yet other states, how conservatives have stood up against liberal majorities. I know that this guide will provide you with the most comprehensive evaluative tool to learn how your legislators measure up.

Sincerely,

Matt SchlappChairmanAmerican Conservative Union

ACU FOUNDATION BOARD MEMBERS

SELECTING THE VOTES

ACU researched and selected a range of bills before the Illinois General Assembly that determine a member’s adherence to conservative principles. We selected bills that focus on Ronald Reagan’s philosophy of the “three-legged stool”: 1) fiscal and economic: taxes, budgets, regulation, spending, healthcare, and property; 2) social and cultural: 2nd amendment, religion, life, welfare, and education; and 3) government integrity: voting, individual liberty, privacy, and transparency. This wide range of issues are designed to give citizens an accurate assessment that conveys which of Illinois’s elected leaders best defend the principles of a free society: Life, Liberty and Property.

1. SB 1564 Health Care Right of Conscience Act. This bill guts the Health Care Right of Conscience Act by requiring health care professionals at pregnancy resource centers to offer information on abortion and discuss the “benefits” of abortion regardless of their convictions. ACU believes abortion is a human tragedy and supports the right of health care professionals to follow their consciences when it comes to abortion information and opposed this bill. The Senate passed the bill on April 22, 2015 by a vote of 34-19.

2. SB 23 Law Licenses for Illegal Immigrants. This bill deletes language from the States Attorneys’ Act that bars the Illinois Supreme Court from awarding attorney’s licenses to illegal immigrants. ACU opposes special privileges for illegal immigrants and opposed this bill. The Senate passed the bill on April 23, 2015 by a vote of 41-12.

3. SB 1847 Food Stamp Expansion. This bill reduces income eligibility requirements for food stamp benefits by increasing the gross income limit from 130% to 165% of the federal poverty level for households that do not include an elderly, blind or disabled member. ACU opposes expanding a program rife with fraud without reforms and opposed this bill. The Senate passed the bill on April 23, 2015 by a vote of 35-16.

4. HB 1424 Licensing Requirements. This bill extends for ten years licensing laws for such occupations as hair braiding and cosmetology and adds licensing requirements for spa technicians and barber stylists.

5. HB 352 Bobcat Hunting. This bill amends the Wildlife Code to allow bobcat hunting in a set season of November 1st – February 15th. ACU supports expanding opportunities for hunters and supported this bill. The Senate passed the bill on May 21, 2015 by a vote of 32-17.

6. HB 3619 Employer Mandates for Small Business. This bill removes the exemption of the Illinois “Equal Pay” Act for those businesses with fewer than four employees. ACU opposes this new mandate that goes way beyond the federal law – which already has a family business exemption – and is primarily designed to threaten legal action against businesses too small to defend themselves and opposed this bill. The Senate passed the bill on May 22, 2015 by a vote of 49-1.

7. HB 3234 Crossbow Hunting. This bill allows the use of a crossbow to hunt coyotes. Previously, only disabled hunters could use a crossbow. ACU supports expanding opportunities for hunters and supported this bill. The Senate passed the bill on May 22, 2015 by a vote of 47-0.

8. HB 3194 Urban Weatherization Initiative Funding Increase. This bill dramatically increases spending for the urban Weatherization initiative by quadrupling grant awards to $2 million from $500,000.

9. SB 1354 Pay Increase. This bill provides for an automatic cost of living pay increase each year for members of the General Assembly, State’s Attorneys and other State-wide officeholders. ACU opposes automatic pay increases at a time when the state is in dire financial difficulty and opposed this bill. The Senate passed the bill on May 29, 2015 by a vote of 36-21.

10. HB 3237 Beer Regulations. This bill eases restrictions on the amount of beer breweries are allowed to produce by creating a new Class 2 license that increases the cap to 155,000 gallons per year for companies that own up to three brewpubs. ACU opposes restrictions on the production of any product that are primarily designed to reduce competition and supported this bill. The Senate passed the bill on May 29, 2015 by a vote of 46-2.

11. SB 777 Pension Funding. This bill allows the City of Chicago to underfund the Chicago Policemen and Firemen’s pension funds over the next five years and extends the deadline to reach 90% of funding from 2040 to 2055. The bill calls for additional funding for the pensions from the proceeds of an unbuilt and unapproved government-owned casino in Chicago. ACU opposes these fiscally irresponsible proposals and opposed this bill. The Senate passed the bill on May 30, 2015 by a vote of 38-20.

12. SB 508 Government-Owned Convention Centers. This bill allows the use of funds from the Tourism Promotion Account to provide funds for government-run convention centers.

14. SB 1229 Forced Arbitration for Labor Disputes. This bill removes the power of the Governor to settle labor disputes by mandating arbitration for disputes between the public sector unions and the Governor.
