Illinois Quick Hits: Prtizker says Trump order is unconstitutional
(The Center Square) – Gov. J.B. Pritzker says President Donald Trump’s executive order issued on Tuesday to address election integrity is unconstitutional.
The governor said in a social media post that Illinois will keep administering free and fair elections, and what Donald Trump puts on a piece of paper will not change that.
The president said he wants honest voting.
IL ATTORNEY GENERAL SUES OVER EMISSIONS STANDARDS
Illinois Attorney General Kwame Raoul says he and Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison are leading a coalition of 21 states and local governments challenging the Trump administration’s repeal of the 2024 Mercury and Air Toxics Standards Rule.
In a lawsuit filed on Tuesday, Raoul and the coalition said the repeal is unlawful because the EPA failed to provide a reasoned basis for it and failed to adequately consider developments in practices, processes and control technologies.
CONVERSION THERAPY RULING
State Rep. Kelly Cassidy, D-Chicago, says a U.S. Supreme Court ruling on conversion therapy does not directly impact Illinois’ ban on the practice.
Cassidy sponsored the Illinois prohibition enacted in 2015.
Attorney John Mauck said the high court’s ruling in Chiles v. Salazar aligns with a previous legal victory for Illinois pastors and protects licensed counselors from the Illinois ban on conversion therapy.
