    ICCTA Government Relations and Public Policy Report by Jessica Nardulli, ICCTA Legislative Counsel January 25, 2021

    ICCTA Government Relations and Public Policy Report By Jessica Nardulli, ICCTA Legislative Counsel January 25, 2021 New Leadership in the Illinois House State Rep. Emanuel “Chris” Welch, the new speaker of the Illinois House of Representatives, has promised to make some changes to the way the Speaker’s office operates. For one, Welch is adept at using social media and has committed to modernizing the office. He has also committed to ethics reforms and supports a law limiting leader terms to 10 years. One of the biggest areas for change is the upcoming legislative and congressional district reapportionment. Under former Speaker Michael Madigan, the process was partisan and handled behind closed doors. Governor JB Pritzker has promised not to sign an “unfair” map. Welch has been a supporter of “fair” maps in the past but acknowledged that his version of “fair” might not be the same as others. Welch’s first order of business is to announce the rules of the Illinois House. Welch has made it clear he wants more of a collaborative approach by conferring with his colleagues on both sides of the aisle. He also promised a leadership team that will show the state’s diversity of gender, race, and geography. Welch’s leadership team includes: • State Rep. Greg Harris - Majority Leader • State Rep. Jehan Gordon-Booth - Deputy Majority Leader / Speaker Pro-Tempore • State Rep. Mary E. Flowers - Deputy Majority Leader and Dean of the Caucus • State Rep. Jaime M. Andrade, Jr. - Assistant Majority Leader • State Rep. Robyn Gabel - Assistant Majority Leader • State Rep. Elizabeth Hernandez - Assistant Majority Leader • State Rep.

    State of Illinois Dorval R. Carter, President Chicago Transit Authority 567 West Lake Street Chicago IL 60601 July 30, 2020 Dear President Carter: As Members of the Illinois General Assembly, who are concerned with transportation-related issues, we are contacting each of the state’s transit districts in an effort to ascertain what steps you are taking to keep employees and passengers safe. Public transit is essential to many people’s lives and livelihoods, so its continued availability is vital to our state’s reopening plan and to the personal finances of many people – especially low-income residents and seniors. Furthermore, our buses and trains are places where people come into close contact with each other due to their confined spaces. With that being said, if appropriate precautions are not taken, these places pose an increased risk of spreading COVID-19. At your earliest convenience, please send us a letter detailing the efforts you are taking to protect your employees and passengers and to limit the spread of COVID-19. The letter should address, but need not be limited to, the following topics: - Testing: Under what circumstances are employees required to be tested? What do you do if an employee tests positive? - Tracing: How do you identify individuals who may have had prolonged contact with employees or a passenger who is found to have COVID-19? What information do you convey to them, and what do you require of employees who may have been exposed? - Temperature checks: Most businesses and other entities that have remained open or reopened require temperature checks for their employees, in an effort to catch otherwise asymptomatic individuals who have contracted COVID-19.
