Bill arrived in Illinois Senate and first reading by Chief Senate Sponsor Sen. Karina Villa

Third reading of bill occured and House floor passed the bill 66-44

All of the points were made during the House Committee on March 24.

Passing bill from May makes more sense than drafting a new bill
Even if bill indicates no need of funding, schools still need funding for potential printing materials and updated books
No certainty of having enough educators or classes having enough room in school year to implement a media literacy unit

Arguing Points

Bipartisan supported and passed unanimously in House last year [did not have enough time to reach Senate floor]
Aligns with the computer literacy initiative and ISBE social sciences standards revision in fall
ISBE does not often support unfunded mandates but in this case they do

Supporting Points

Mandates media literacy with help of State Superintendent of Education curriculm in all public schools [no funding required] by 2022-2023 school year

House Committee Amendment No. 1 Rules reffered to, adopted, and passed committee

First reading was in Illinois House and referred to Rules Committee
