Rep. Adam Niemerg

Maddy summaryThis is a non-binding House resolution (HR 95), not a bill with enforceable policy. It states that Illinois House members commit to not voting for any tax increases to balance the state's budget for the 104th General Assembly. The resolution cites concerns about existing tax hikes (like corporate loss extensions and high gas taxes) and warns against proposed tax plans for pension funding, but it does not change any tax laws or directly affect residents. As a procedural statement, it has no legal effect on current or future tax policy.

Maddy summaryHR 102 is a memorial resolution honoring Illinois State Trooper Corey Steven Thompsen, who died in the line of duty on October 18, 2024. The resolution, adopted by the Illinois House of Representatives on February 5, 2025, formally mourns his passing and extends condolences to his family, including his wife Chelsea, parents, siblings, and colleagues. It does not create any new policy or affect any legal rights, as it is a symbolic gesture of respect for a fallen law enforcement officer. The resolution was filed by Rep. Adam M. Niemerg and passed without debate.

Maddy summaryThis resolution (HR 83) urges Illinois to repeal the TRUST Act, a law that restricts local police from cooperating with federal immigration enforcement. The TRUST Act prohibits police from asking about immigration status during routine stops, detaining individuals solely based on immigration status, sharing information with ICE, or entering agreements to detain people for immigration violations. The resolution argues these restrictions hinder law enforcement cooperation, risk losing federal funding, and reduce community safety by limiting police effectiveness. As a non-binding resolution, it does not change law but formally requests the state government to seek repeal.
