For many years now, as most Illinoisians are aware, Representative Ford, a democrat from the 8th district, has sponsored bills attempting to amend the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act. The 102nd General Assembly is no exception. This legislative season Representative Ford presents House Bill-620. Perhaps the least adversarial language that can arrive on the Governor's desk. A review of the Current Law and the Proposed Amendments proves that if this bill passes it will be one small step in the right direction to put an end to Illinois law depriving children of one of their parents.

Let's look at what the new law would look like upon passage of HB-620.

The 102nd General Assembly in the State Of Illinois has begun. Holding its first day of the new session on January 13th, 2021.

Over the years we have presented and provided research-backed model legislation across the country. In Illinois, National Parents Organization has plans to build on our successes and help push for parental rights reforms for both parents.
