Action Alert! We need your help! Support HB 1063 to Remove the Criminal Statute of Limitations for Sex Crimes Against Children The Bill: HB 1063 eliminates the criminal statute of limitations for sex crimes committed against children, giving prosecutors an unlimited amount of time to try these cases. This bill reflects the reality of childhood sexual abuse, and the fact that many survivors of childhood sexual abuse are not able to come forward until later in life. The bill is scheduled to be heard on Wednesday, May 15 in subcommittee at 8:55 a.m. and in the Senate Criminal Law Committee at 9:00 a.m. ICASA staff and a fabulous survivor will be providing testimony in support of the bill. The bill passed the House 109-0 but has been substantially slowed in the Senate because the Illinois States Attorneys’ Association opposes it. We need your help! How You Can Help: You can do two things to help move this bill along – each of them will only take a few minutes. 1. Before 5 p.m. on Tuesday, May 14, submit an electronic witness slip on behalf of your organization in support of the bill. Note: While individuals may file slips, generally the legislature only reads those that are submitted by organizations. Here’s how to fill out the slip online: A. Use this link to go directly to the page and create a witness slip for HB 1063. B. Scroll down to HB 1063, and click on "Create Witness Slip." C. Fill out your information, identify yourself as a "proponent" for the bill, and check "Record of Appearance Only." 2. The bill will be heard first in a subcommittee of the Senate Criminal Law Committee and then in the Criminal Law Committee. If your Senator is on the Criminal Law Committee, please call their office before 5 p.m. on Tuesday, May 14, and ask them to “Please vote yes on HB 1063.” It is perfectly fine to tell their assistant why you personally feel that prosecutors should have more time to prosecute these cases.

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.

1 Political Contributions Exelon Corporation's (Exelon) Success
Political Contributions Exelon Corporation’s (Exelon) success depends on sound public policies at the national, state and local levels. Issues vital to Exelon’s ability to recognize value for its stakeholders are debated and decided in the U.S. Congress, state legislatures and local forums across the country. Federal and Pennsylvania law prohibit companies from making political contributions to Federal and Pennsylvania candidates. Illinois and Maryland law limit the amount that Exelon and its affiliated companies can give to political candidates and PACs. In certain other states, corporations are permitted to contribute to state election campaigns. Exelon engages in political activity in accordance with all relevant state and Federal laws. Exelon Corporation, Baltimore Gas and Electric Company and PECO Energy Company have established political action committees that are funded solely through voluntary employee contributions (ExelonPAC, BGEPAC and PECOPAC). Exelon Generation Company and Commonwealth Edison Company also have Illinois state political action committees which may be funded by both employee and corporate contributions (ComEd PAC and ExGenPAC). Exelon provides limited administrative support to all five PACs. These PACs offer eligible employees a direct means to voluntarily participate in shaping public policy and expressing views on issues related to our business. The PACs operate in accordance with all relevant state and Federal laws. Information about ExelonPAC is available on the website of the Federal Election Commission at www.fec.gov. In the interest of transparency for our shareholders and stakeholders, Exelon has posted its Corporate Political Contributions Guidelines on its website. These Guidelines are intended to provide corporate governance, control, oversight and procedural guidance for corporate contributions of money, property or services for political activities in Illinois, Maryland and other states that allow corporate contributions to the political process and for political expenditures in areas where permitted.
