ambitions and
help them understand the relationship |

| WHEREAS, Complaining that too many children are missing |
| 14 |

or
dad at the workplace each April, the |
| 15 |

vacations; and

| 18 |
| WHEREAS, Teachers often put lessons on hold because of the |
| 19 |

| 20 |
| children with adults in the workplace;
therefore, be it
|
| 21 |
| RESOLVED, BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES OF THE |
| 22 |
| NINETY-THIRD GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS, that we |
| 23 |

| 27 |
| RESOLVED, That the State of Illinois encourages this "Take |
| 28 |
| Your Kid To Work
Day" to
