APPOINT-VERONICA HERRERO

This bill formally appoints Veronica Herrero as a member of the Illinois Board of Higher Education, a position she will hold from May 31, 2024, to January 31, 2027. The legislation confirms her selection by the Governor and requests the Senate's consent to finalize her appointment to this state oversight board. Herrero, who resides in Chicago, will serve without a salary but may be reimbursed for official expenses incurred while performing her duties. The appointment replaces the previous member, Alice Marie Jacobs, and aligns with the board's role in overseeing higher education institutions in Illinois.
