State Senator Steve McClure | Illinois General Assembly
The Illinois General Assembly has passed legislation filed by State Senator Steve McClure (R-Springfield) to ensure that the Shelby County Rescue Squad can continue operating and protect the community it serves.
“This legislation will help to make sure that Shelby County is able to maintain their rescue squad, which will save lives,” said Senator McClure. “I hope this legislation is able to provide some peace of mind for the people of the county, knowing that the brave members of the squad can stay on the job.”
Shelby County Board members requested McClure file Senate Bill 1102, which will officially authorize the county to operate its rescue squad and provide necessary benefits to squad members. The bill aligns with similar legislation previously passed by McClure concerning the Sangamon County Rescue Squad. The bill aims to resolve regulations that could have led to the shutdown of the rescue squad.
SB1102 has passed both chambers of the Illinois General Assembly and now awaits the Governor's signature.
