APPOINT-SHARON BUSH

This bill appoints Sharon Bush as a member of the Illinois Board of Higher Education, a state agency that oversees public colleges and universities. The appointment, which took effect on September 25, 2023, is set to last until January 31, 2027, and provides the nominee with reimbursement for official expenses rather than a salary. Governor J.B. Pritzker nominated Bush with the support of Senator Lakesia Collins, and the Senate confirmed the appointment by a unanimous vote. This action adds a new voice to the board without altering the agency's existing laws or operations.
