UPDATE: Wednesday 7/16/2025
Good news: As of the end of the spring 2025 legislative session, HB2827 did not pass! While it did pass out of committee, it was never brought to a vote on the floor of the House, never brought to the Senate, and went no where near the Governor's desk.
This is being hailed by some as a victory, but while we may take a break in our campaign against this assault against homeschooling in Illinois, we have been assured by the bill's author she will rewrite it for a 4th time and reintroduce it during next year's legislative session. Our victory, therefore, is not a triumph in a battle; it is success in an initial skirmish.
