The Steven Watkins Visitation Interference Bill

Illinois Fathers






We have intel that that SB 3823, (The Steven Watkins Visitation Interference Bill) will be coming up for a vote in the full House either this week or early next week. We are hoping for a Veto Proof vote from the members of the Illinois House. Yes, that sounds pretty ambitous, but frankly, this entire quest was ambitous from day one. No motivational speeches are needed here. Everyone reading this newsletter understands that if this bill passes, the floodgates are opened and opened wide.
