This week, our video calls attention to two bills making their way through the Illinois state legislature, one aimed at increasing the regulations on families who homeschool their children, and another that would allow physician-assisted suicide in Illinois.
For more on the homeschooling bill, visit WCIA’s page. You can read the full bill text here. For more on the WeSchool Academy, mentioned in the video above, head to WeSchool’s website.
Meanwhile, MyStateLine.com has an article on the physician-assisted suicide bill. You can read the full bill text here.
