1 | | of safety inspectors at the Federal Aviation Administration, |
2 | | and the halting of most food and drug safety inspections by the |
3 | | Food and Drug Administration; and
|
4 | | WHEREAS, The State of Illinois is also seeing an impact |
5 | | regarding the federal funds in its State budget, such as |
6 | | furloughed employees at various State agencies, such as the |
7 | | Illinois Department of Employment Security and the Illinois |
8 | | Department of Human Services, human service programs being |
9 | | funded with reserve payments only, and economic development and |
10 | | business development grants being funded for a month, with the |
11 | | future service funds being uncertain while the "shutdown" |
12 | | exists; therefore, be it
|
13 | | RESOLVED, BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES OF THE |
14 | | NINETY-EIGHTH GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS, that |
15 | | we show our support for the addition, via amendment to the |
16 | | United States Constitution or other measures, of a double |
17 | | dissolution procedure that is similar to the process in the |
18 | | Australian Constitution to resolve deadlocks where the |
19 | | dissolution of both parliament chambers is called and a full |
20 | | election is held; and be it further
|
21 | | RESOLVED, That we urge the United States Senate and the |
22 | | United States House of Representatives to conclude the federal |
23 | | "shutdown" for the people of this great nation.
