APPOINT-RODERICK K. HAWKINS

This bill appoints Roderick K. Hawkins as a member of the Illinois Sports Facilities Authority, a state agency responsible for overseeing sports-related infrastructure and programs. The appointment is effective from November 27, 2023, through July 1, 2026, and the nominee will receive expenses and a per diem rather than a fixed salary. The legislation requires Senate consent to confirm the appointment, which was granted by a vote of 55-0. This action updates the board's membership to include a representative from Chicago's South Side, succeeding Tarrah Cooper Wright in the role.
