Earlier this morning SB 500, the Smoke-Free Illinois Act, was passed out of the House Environmental Health Committee on a 10-2 vote!!! SB 500 is now eligible for a full vote in the House. The roll call from this morning's vote to come later today.

SB 500 is now only 60 votes and the Governor's signature away from becoming a reality!

Click here to tell your Representative to VOTE YES on SB 500.
