[IL-Talk] Dignity in Pay Act

[Bill Reif]

I have learned of new information regarding the Dignity in Pay Act which 
I believe represents progress. A hearing has been set for Monday, May 
20th before the House Labor & Commerce Committee at 3:00PM in Capitol 
Building Room 114. I believe this hearing may be streamed. Its purpose 
is to consider Floor Amendment 3, a compromise which will eliminate 14C 
certificates by 2029.


Cordially,

Bill Reif
