SPRINGFIELD — To provide greater flexibility for healthcare providers and businesses receiving prescription drug deliveries while maintaining safeguards for controlled substances State Senator Laura Ellman is advancing House Bill 4953, reducing burdens for businesses operating across multiple sites while preserving accountability and safety standards.

“Health care providers and businesses often operate across multiple locations, and outdated delivery rules can create unnecessary administrative hurdles,” said Ellman (D-Naperville). “This measure provides flexibility for non-controlled prescription drugs while keeping important protections in place for controlled substances.”

SPRINGFIELD – According to the American Heart Association, women are 27% less likely than men to receive bystander CPR, often due to hesitation or misconceptions about performing aid. To change this, State Senator Laura Ellman is spearheading a new initiative at improving CPR training in Illinois schools.

“When someone’s life is on the line, every second counts. More inclusive, realistic CPR training helps people act quickly and save lives,” said Ellman (D-Naperville). “Students should feel confident stepping in during an emergency, no matter who needs help.”

SPRINGFIELD – Digital coupons have become more common; however, not all consumers can easily access them. State Senator Laura Ellman is combatting this with House Bill 45 to ensure eligible consumers receive the benefits of digital promotions when they meet the stated terms.

“People shouldn’t miss out on savings because a promotion isn’t accessible,” said Ellman (D-Naperville). “If it’s offered, it should be usable to all, especially when a digital coupon can make a difference when buying in bulk with increasing grocery prices.”

SPRINGFIELD – To ensure Illinois maintains strong environmental and public health protections even if federal standards are weakened in the future, State Senator Laura Ellman advanced House Bill 5070 through the Senate on Thursday in an effort to safeguard clean air, water and more.

“Illinois families deserve clean air to breathe and safe water to drink regardless of changes happening at the federal level,” said Ellman (D-Naperville). “This measure ensures our state can continue protecting public health and the environment instead of automatically rolling back standards whenever federal protections are weakened.”
