COLLINSVILLE – The Illinois State Police (ISP) Troop 8 conducted Roadside Safety Checks (RSC) in Madison and St. Clair counties in November, resulting in a total of 87 citations and arrests, according to Captain Casey Faro, the Troop 8 Commander. The enforcement activity included five Driving Under the Influence (DUI) citations, alongside various other violations: 21 for occupant restraint offenses, 39 for registration offenses, 44 for driver’s license offenses, and 11 for insurance violations. In addition to these citations, officers issued 49 written warnings during the checks. Captain Faro emphasized the importance of these safety checks, stating, "RSCs are designed to keep our roads safe by taking dangerous DUI offenders off the road."

ALTON – State Representative Amy Elik is celebrating the passage of House Bill 222 through both chambers of the Illinois Legislature. On November 20, the bill passed the Illinois Senate and is awaiting Governor J.B. Pritzker’s signature. As Chief Co-sponsor of HB222, Rep. Elik continues her efforts to protect children from child sexual abuse. The bill builds on language Rep. Elik filed in 2023 in House Bill 1275 and makes two major changes to Illinois statute. The new provisions acknowledge that childhood sexual abuse is inherently traumatic and harmful, and includes provisions to prevent defendants in civil lawsuits from shifting blame onto childhood sexual abuse survivors. While Rep. Elik’s original legislation was filed upon the request of a downstate survivor, sadly, abuse cases happen throughout Illinois. During court hearings, victims have been accused of being at fault and not traumatized from child sexual abuse, which HB222 aims to correct. “Victims
