New state laws taking effect Jan. 1

Minimum wage hike, pets in public housing

Rich Township Supervisor Calvin Jordan Receives Double Honor

SPRINGFIELD

– Minimum

wage workers in Illinois will see a boost in their hourly pay to $12 per hour starting Jan. 1, while tenants in affordable housing units will be allowed to keep pets.

Those are just some of the more than 300 new laws that take effect in the new year.

The minimum wage increase is actually the result of a 2019 law that phases in a state minimum wage to $15 an hour by 2025. This year, it will increase by one dollar to $12 an hour.

The law allowing public housing

tenants to keep pets is the result of Senate Bill 154, by Sen. Linda Holmes, D-Aurora, and Rep. Stephanie Kifowit, D-Oswego. It provides that tenants of multifamily housing units that are acquired, built or renovated with money from the Illinois Affordable Housing Trust Fund may keep up to two cats or one dog weighing less than 50 pounds.

The Township of Illinois organization recently held their annual meeting of the Cook County based Townships and dubbed Supervisor Jordan as their regional Vice-President. Jordan was overwhelmingly selected by his fellow Township Supervisors throughout Cook County.

Illinois State Representative Debbie Meyers-Martin adds, “Supervisor Jordan is more than worthy of this appointment. He truly cares about the state of affairs involving Township government in Illinois. But this speaks more boldly to Calvin and the current Board of Rich Township Trustees. Collectively they have efficiently and effectively managed the township in a spirit of excellence and inclusion.”

It applies to residents of housing units that are designated as affordable housing for low- and very-lowincome families. The bill passed both chambers in its final form on May 30 and Gov. JB Pritzker signed it into law Aug. 6.

Other new laws include:

to day lives of residents.” says Matteson Mayor Sheila Chalmers-Currin.

On Monday, July 17th, Operation PUSH Founder and President Jesse L. Jackson presented Committeeman Jordan with the prestigious Trailblazer Award. The award is presented annually to an individual who has demonstrated through their leadership a spirit of inclusiveness, equity and has created a path of opportunity.

“Reverend Jackson clearly was on point in selecting Committeeman Jordan for this honor. Calvin Jordan has shaken the foundation in southern Cook County in how he has coalesced people from all walks of life for the upward mobility of the southland. He has an “inclusion and no exclusion” approach to government and politics. I love his spirit of volunteerism and unity.” says fellow Democratic Committeeman and Chicago Alderman Stephanie Coleman.

Vehicle taxes: SB58 raises the private vehicle tax, which is a sales tax paid on the purchase of vehicles, by $75 for each model year where the purchase price is less than $15,000 and by $100 for vehicles priced above that amount. However, the registration fee for trailers weighing less than 3,000 pounds will drop to $36 instead of $118.

“Through his leadership Calvin Jordan has created a model of governmental excellence in township government. More amazingly he has done it in two short years. He and the Rich Township Board of Trustees have more than justified and given real purpose for the importance of township government and the role it plays in the day

“While I am honored to receive the Township of Illinois appointment as well as the Trailblazer Award, I wish that my fellow Rich Township Board of Trustees and constitutional officers could receive this award as well. We are a team that believes in unity. In addition, my wife Lori Jordan and our children keep me grounded in love and support. I am blessed beyond the stars, but I’ve never stood alone.” says Supervisor Jordan.

Drug prices: SB1682 requires pharmacies to post a notice informing consumers that they may request current pharmacy retail prices at the point of sale.

Trinette was diagnosed with chronic kidney disease (CKD) by a nephrologist some years ago after her general practitioner reviewed results from lab blood work that indicated some of her blood levels were elevated. Her doctors at the time were vague on the diagnosis and suggested that she reduce her intake on such items as salt, chips, popcorn, and peanuts.

After keeping her diagnosis private, Trinette has now informed her friends, family, and associates of her battle. From her transparency an influential group of politicians, civic leaders, medical professionals, and organ donor advocates have formed a public relations campaign not only concerning Trinette’s challenges, but also the racial disparities and inequities of kidney disease.

Trinette stopped seeing the nephrologist because her health insurance changed, and she did not realize at that time that her condition was life threatening. She was neither educated nor informed. Her focus was being diagnosed with hypertension or high blood pressure. She was only concerned about potential strokes and heart attacks. Managing hypertension was her priority. This is common in that many people simply are not fully educated about kidney disease.

TRINETTE BRITT-JOHNSON HAS SERVED THE CONSTITUENTS OF THE SOUTHLAND IN A SPIRIT OF EXCELLENCE AND HUMILITY FOR DECADES. A CLARION CALL GOES OUT FOR TRINETTE WHO IS CONSIDERED BY MANY A KEY COMPONENT IN THE UPWARD MOBILITY OF AFRICAN AMERICAN FEMALES IN GOVERNMENT.

FOID card changes: HB562 enacts several changes to the Firearm Owner Identification card law. Among other things, it provides for a streamlined renewal process for FOID cards and Concealed Carry Licenses for people who voluntarily submit fingerprint records. It also allows the Illinois State Police to issue a combined FOID card and Concealed Carry License to qualified applicants, and it establishes a new Violent Crime Intelligence Task Force to take enforcement action against people with revoked FOID cards.

“Trinette has been a true pillar of support for so many government leaders throughout Cook County. Particularly for women of color. She has much to do with the growth and upward mobility of the southland as anyone. We are banding together in her fight for life, but also to bring awareness concerning the challenges that many African Americans face when in need of an organ donation. “says Rich Township Supervisor and Democratic Committeeman Calvin Jordan.

Illinois State Representative Debbie Meyers-Martin adds, “Trinette is such a stallworth in Illinois politics and has been steadfast in her advocacy for women in government. She has given so much of her time and energy in the promotion of good government. It is now due time that we stand with her, fight with her and win with her!”

Trinette is also receiving support from Dr. Jack Lynch, considered by many as a pioneer of transplant medicine. Dr Lynch is commonly known for developing and maintaining communications that promote organ and tissue donation within selected community groups and hospitals.

Chef Lorena Garcia, Patti LaBelle, Kelly Rowland and More Join No Kid Hungry to Help Connect Kids to Free Summer Meals

WASHINGTON – All kids deserve a great summer, but for millions of children who rely on school meals, summer can be the hungriest time of year. No Kid Hungry, a national campaign to end childhood hunger, is launching an awareness campaign to help families find free meals for their kids and teens this summer. Parents, grandparents and caregivers can simply text “FOOD” or “COMIDA” to 304-304 or visit NoKidHungry.org/WhatsApp to find sites serving free meals in their neighborhood. This year, No Kid Hungry is expanding this resource for more families to access this information via WhatsApp, a popular messaging app used by immigrant and Latino families. To help raise awareness about this critical effort, Chef, Author, Restaurateur and TV Personality, Lorena Garcia, is teaming up with No Kid Hungry once again this year alongside Legendary Artist and Entertainer Patti LaBelle, Singer, Actress, TV Producer and Entrepreneur Kelly Rowland, Actor and Comedian Eugenio Derbez, TV Host and Actress Alejandra Espinoza, Chef, Author and Restaurateur Kwame Onwuachi, Actress, TV Host and former Miss Universe Dayanara Torres and more.

During the school year, free and reduced-price school meals are a lifeline, ensuring that children have reliable access to nutrition. However, when school is out for the summer, many of these meals disappear, putting a bigger financial burden on families who are struggling with already-tight and shrinking budgets. According to a recent No Kid Hungry poll, parents are having a harder time affording groceries to feed their children and are living an unexpected expense away from hunger due to the rise in cost for food and other necessities like utilities, gas and rent.

Free summer meals programs, run by local schools and community groups, are available and open to any kid or teenager who needs a healthy meal, but the program has historically only reached a fraction of the kids that need it. This year, kids are facing a brighter summer. After years of advocacy by No Kid Hungry and others, Congress took action to help more kids get the food they need this summer and beyond. As part of the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2023, Congress granted greater flexibility for rural communities to offer non-congregate meal options, like meal delivery or pick-up services. Additional details HERE. The bill also establishes a permanent nationwide program called Summer EBT, which provides families with a benefit to buy food in the summer, which will be implemented in 2024.

No Kid Hungry will be supporting the roll-out and implementation of the non-congregate meal options in rural areas by offering technical assistance, funding, sharing best practices and raising awareness. With many communities having greater flexibility in how they can feed kids this year, it is critical to reach as many as possible who may have not been able to access the program before. This is why Chef Lorena Garcia, Patti LaBelle, Kelly Rowland and more are stepping up to spread the word and ensure kids and teens don’t miss out on the nutrition they need this summer. They will do actions such as record public service announcements highlighting No Kid Hungry’s summer meals finder resources, amplify on social media and more.

According to Lorena Garcia, chef, author, restaurateur and TV personality, “The summer meals program is a lifeline for so many families when school is out, but one of the biggest barriers is simply awareness. I’m thrilled to team up with No Kid Hungry once again and help reach even more families this year with bilingual resources and through WhatsApp, which is a way to reach immigrant and Latino families where they are.”

“Our nation’s children deserve a happy, healthy summer and that starts with being fed and nourished, “ says Legendary Artist and Entertainer, Patti LaBelle. “It’s up to all of us to ensure all kids have the fuel they need to follow their dreams and that parents, grandparents and caregivers have access to this essential program. One hungry child is one too many.”

“I may be an entertainer and actress but my most important role in life is being a mom,” said Kelly Rowland, singer, actress, TV producer and entrepreneur. “As a parent, I’m proud to join No Kid Hungry and help make sure families across America know that free summer meals are there to help when school’s out.”

To find free summer meals for youth 18 and under, families can text ‘FOOD’ or ‘COMIDA’ to 304304 or visit NoKidHungry.org/Help or NoKidHungry.org/WhatsApp. Media and the general public can also access the campaign’s social media toolkit to help amplify the message now through Aug. 12.

No child should go hungry in America. But millions of kids in the United States live with hunger. No Kid Hungry is working to end childhood hunger by helping launch and improve programs that give all kids the healthy food they need to thrive. This is a problem we know how to solve. No Kid Hungry is a campaign of Share Our Strength, an organization committed to ending hunger and poverty. Join us at NoKidHungry.org.

Biden-Harris Administration to Provide 804,000 Borrowers with $39 Billion in Automatic Loan Forgiveness as a Result of Fixes to Income Driven Repayment Plans

The Department of Education (Department) today will begin notifying more than 804,000 borrowers that they have a total of $39 billion in Federal student loans that will be automatically discharged in the coming weeks. In total, the Biden-Harris Administration has approved more than $116.6 billion in student loan forgiveness for more than 3.4 million borrowers.

The forthcoming discharges are a result of fixes implemented by the Biden-Harris Administration to ensure all borrowers have an accurate count of the number of monthly payments that qualify toward forgiveness under income-driven repayment (IDR) plans. These fixes are part of the Department’s commitment to address historical failures in the administration of the Federal student loan program in which qualifying payments made under IDR plans that should have moved borrowers closer to forgiveness were not accounted for. Borrowers are eligible for forgiveness if they have accumulated the equivalent of either 20 or 25 years of qualifying months.

This action is part of the Biden-Harris Administration’s implementation of the payment count adjustment announced in April 2022. That action addressed historical inaccuracies in the count of payments that qualify toward forgiveness under IDR plans. Under the Higher Education Act and the Department’s regulations, a borrower is eligible for forgiveness after making 240 or 300 monthly payments—the equivalent of 20 or 25 years on an IDR plan or the standard repayment plan, with the number of required payments varying based upon when a borrower first took out the loans, the type of loans they borrowed, and the IDR payment plan in which the borrower is enrolled. Inaccurate payment counts have resulted in borrowers losing hard-earned progress toward loan forgiveness. This action also addresses concerns about practices by loan servicers that put borrowers into

forbearance in violation of Department rules. The Department previously began discharging loans for borrowers who reached forgiveness for Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) through these changes.

Borrowers receiving notifications in the coming days include those with Direct Loans or Federal Family Education Loans held by the Department (including Parent PLUS loans of either type) who have reached the necessary forgiveness threshold as a result of receiving credit toward IDR forgiveness for any of the following periods:

Any month in which a borrower was in a repayment status, regardless of whether payments were partial or late, the type of loan, or the repayment plan;

Any period in which a borrower spent 12 or more consecutive months in forbearance;

Any month in forbearance for borrowers who spent 36 or more cumulative months in forbearance;

Any month spent in deferment (except for in-school deferment) prior to 2013; and

Any month spent in economic hardship or military deferments on or after January 1, 2013.

In addition, months described above that occurred prior to a loan consolidation will also be counted toward forgiveness.

The Department will continue to identify and notify borrowers who reach the applicable forgiveness thresholds (240 or 300 qualifying monthly payments, depending on their repayment plan and type of loan) every two months until next year when all borrowers who are not yet eligible for forgiveness will have their payment counts updated. Any month counted for this purpose can also be counted toward PSLF if the borrower documents qualifying employment for that same period.

Eligible borrowers will be informed by the Department

starting today that they qualify for forgiveness without further action on their part. Discharges will begin 30 days after emails are sent. Borrowers who wish to opt out of the discharge for any reason should contact their loan servicer during this period. Borrowers will be notified by their servicer after their debt is discharged. Those receiving forgiveness will have repayment on their loans paused until their discharge is processed, while those who opt out of the discharge will return to repayment once payments resume.

This action builds on the Biden-Harris Administration’s unparalleled record of student debt relief to date, including:

$45 billion for 653,800 public servants through improvements to PSLF;

$5 billion for 491,000 borrowers who have a total and permanent disability; and

$22 billion for nearly 1.3 million borrowers who were cheated by their schools, saw their schools precipitously close, or are covered by related court settlements.

President Biden and the Department have also taken steps to help borrowers access affordable payments going forward. The Department recently issued final regulations creating the most affordable payment plan ever—the Saving on a Valuable Education (SAVE) plan. The SAVE plan will cut payments on undergraduate loans in half compared to other IDR plans, ensure that borrowers never see their balance grow as long as they keep up with their required payments, and protect more of a borrower’s income for basic needs. A single borrower who makes less than $15 an hour will not have to make any payments. Borrowers earning above that amount will save more than $1,000 a year on their payments compared to other IDR plans. Benefits from the SAVE plan will start becoming available this summer.

BLACK PUBLIC MEDIA AWARDS OVER $160,000 FOR VACCINE EQUITY PROJECTS

NEW YORK — Black Public Media (BPM) has selected three projects — two short films and a podcast — for a total of more than $160,000 in funding for vaccine equity works targeting vaccine hesitancy in Michigan and North Carolina. The projects are scheduled for completion this fall in time for expected spikes in COVID and flu cases.

Michigan-based filmmakers Eden Sadolboro and Toni Cunningham, of Reel Clever Films LLC, were awarded $60,000, for WELL, a short film and community engagement campaign that depicts the story of one Black American family across 50 years as they fight to stay healthy amidst three different crises: the Tuskegee experiment, the Flint water crisis and now COVID-19; Los Angeles-based filmmaker William D. Caballero, who was raised in Fayetteville, North Carolina, was awarded $60,000 for A Little off the Top: Vaxxed Up!, an animated digital short that combines elements of narrative and documentary to tell the story of a group of Black and Latino barbers who offer words of encouragement to two vaccine-skeptical teenage customers; The film is the second webisode in a series, which is also funded by Black Public Media. Antonio Alanis, a Mexican-American artist from Durham, North Carolina, was awarded $40,880 for

Me vacuno porque… (I got vaccinated because…), a podcast series for vaccine equity in North Carolina’s Spanish-speaking Latinx community.

The winners were among the creatives who submitted proposals after attending BPM’s March 2023 Black Media Story Summit - Michigan and North Carolina. BPM’s story summits bring together creatives, film and television industry executives, thought leaders, community stakeholders, and others to explore innovative approaches to media story development on critical issues facing Black people across the U.S. Past summits have covered such issues as mass incarceration, environmental justice, health and immigration.

BPM embarked on a three-year partnership with the National Network to Innovate for COVID-19 and Adult Vaccine Equity (NNICE) in the fall of 2021 to facilitate the creation of media stories that help boost vaccination rates within Black communities. The NNICE is funded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) as part of the National Partnering for Vaccine Equity Initiative. BPM was engaged through NNICE’s grantee, Michigan State University, to host virtual Black Media Story Summits on the topic of vaccine equity and award pro-

duction grants to media makers who submit the most compelling production proposals. The Black Media Story Summit - Michigan and North Carolina was the second vaccine equity summit hosted by BPM. The first one in Baltimore led to BPM awarding grants to two filmmaking teams for their short-form content, Covid Conversations and Baltimore Speaks.

“What began as an effort to combat hesitancy against the COVID-19 vaccine has helped us realize that more education about vaccination against the flu and other illnesses is needed as well,” said Qiona Woffard, special programs manager of Black Public Media. “We are thrilled to continue our partnership with NNICE as we work to amplify the voices of local artists who are working to bring positive change and awareness of the importance of vaccinations of all types to our communities.”

Black Public Media is a Harlem-based national media arts nonprofit dedicated to creating and producing media content about the Black experience.

OSF HealthCare and Abundant Health Acquisition (aha!) announce partnership

PEORIA, Ill., PRNewswire -- OSF HealthCare and Abundant Health Acquisition (aha!) have announced a pilot partnership to launch two new aha! software connectors designed to easily deliver retail-like online experiences that help patients find the care they need quickly.

The aha! Provider Data Connector (PDC) and Patient Education Connector (PEC) will empower OSF Digital Marketing and Digital Innovation Development teams to quickly create and optimize an e-commerce-like retail experience that results in improved search engine optimization, greater patient engagement and satisfaction, and higher digital appointment volume.

This partnership extends the OSF HealthCare and aha! collaboration, which started in 2019, with a new, dynamic website to drive the “One OSF” initiative which offers a consistent and personalized experience for the visitor, powered by Sitecore DXP.

“We’re very excited by the opportunity to further partner with aha! as we look for ways to increase our appointment conversions, introduce operational efficiencies, and relieve our tech debt,” said Tom Caldera, director of OSF Digital Innovation Development. “aha!’s vision for flexible connectors directly within our content management system allows us to leverage our Sitecore DXP investment and let our Marketing teams quickly

place personalized provider info and clinical content based on business needs without tech involvement.”

The Provider Data Connector (PDC) unlocks provider data (bio and basic information, appointment availability, high-quality photos, and more) and empowers internal content managers to use it strategically within their website content and directly within their primary domain.

The Patient Education Connector (PEC) alleviates the substantial effort on health care systems to source, write and maintain patient education content. Clinically reviewed content, sourced from trusted 3rd parties such as WebMD Ignite, can be seamlessly integrated as complete articles or individual content segments to create new patient education pieces.

When used together, the two connectors will let the OSF HealthCare Marketing team easily build and optimize web experiences that place the right providers in context with clinically approved, actionable content.

The pilot launch of the two connectors on the OSFHealthCare.org website is currently underway.

OSF HealthCare is an integrated health system owned and operated by The Sisters of the Third Order of St. Francis, headquartered in Peoria, Illinois. OSF HealthCare has 15 hospitals – 10 acute care, five critical access - with 2,084 licensed beds throughout Illinois

Tips for Parents and Kids to Stay Organized This Back-to-School Season

(StatePoint) The start of a new school year carries with it so much potential, particularly when students -- and their parents -- stay organized. Amid the back-to-school chaos, use these tips and gear recommendations to help keep everyone on track, whether they are at school, at home or on-the-go:

Notes and Big Ideas

Color-coded notebooks and binders, along with labeled dividers, can help you keep your coursework straight and your note-taking organized. Take your color-coding a step further by extending the concept to the tools you write with. Pilot Pen’s G2 gel pen is a go-to for busy students and parents with its smooth, long-lasting gel ink that’s able to keep up with busy schedules. Science has shown that writing a to-do list with an appealing color can lead to greater productivity. Inspired by color trends and color psychology, the G2 Harmony

Collection colors were developed to promote balance, relaxation and hope, helping students get more done, stay positive and achieve their highest potential this school year. G2 is available in four point sizes and over 35 colors, so it’s ideal for note-taking, writing down big ideas, goal-setting and more.

Planning and Scheduling

With the back-to-school season comes a flurry of planning and scheduling -- from after-school activities to field trips. Parents and kids alike can stay on top of all the last-minute changes with a desk calendar and an erasable pen.

Pilot’s FriXion line of erasable pens and markers write smooth and erase clean, so you can edit plans as often as they change. It’s much easier to remember tasks and events when you’ve recorded the details in a central location, so start a habit of entering all activities into your calendar as soon as they’re

planned. The smooth gel ink and precise point of the FriXion Synergy

Clicker is great for detailed planning, while FriXion Fineliner brings colorful, mistake-free writing to notes and calendars.

Lockers, Backpacks and Desks

Use organizational tools anywhere school supplies are stored, such as lockers, backpacks and home study areas. Simple shelving and magnetic door organizers can maximize storage potential in any locker, whereas a backpack with multiple pockets allows you to arrange items by subject. Periodically empty your backpack completely; you may be surprised by the loose papers you find at the bottom. Use the opportunity to re-order items as-needed and to wipe down the bag’s interior.

Parents and kids should keep clutter to a minimum in home workspaces with filing systems and supply trays. This will help prevent important papers and other items

EDUCATION

from going missing and improve productivity.

Down to the Details

If you’re smudge-prone, use quickdry ink for effortlessly clean lines. When it’s time to study, this will make reading your notes a lot easier. Pilot’s Precise Rolling Ball, available in capped and retractable styles, features a precision tip -great for organized notes and homework.

Staying organized is easier said than done for families and students. However, relying on tools meant for the task at hand, whether that’s note-taking or event scheduling, can make it much simpler.

Tips to Get Your Student Prepped for College Entrance Exams

(StatePoint) Is the SATor ACT on the horizon for your high schooler? Alot of emphasis is placed on college entrance exams, and your child may be anxious about their scores. To adequately prepare for the SAT or ACT, consider these tips:

• Practice, practice, practice: Encourage your student to take free online practice tests early and often. Not only is this an effective way to get familiar with the types of questions that will be on the test, it can give your child a sense of where they stand currently and help them identify areas where they may need some extra review. It’s helpful to simulate test day as much as possible. Have them take the practice test in a quiet place and time each portion of the test accurately.

• Have the right STEM tools: Acing the math portion is easier when you fully understand the principles behind the test questions. Fortunately, you can affordably equip your student with tools that facilitate that understanding. Casio, dedicated to making STEM education more engaging, has developed the fxCG50, a graphing calculator in the brand’s PRIZM line-up that offers a color LCD with a full textbook-style display. Jampacked with features that enable students to solve the most challenging equations, it offers the ability to easily draw three dimensional graphs such as planes, cylinders and spheres, and view them from various angles in order to better analyze their shape. Plus, a cross-section option and special zoom function can be used for greater analysis.

• Build vocabulary: An expansive vocabulary is not just useful in the real world, it can greatly improve a student’s

chances of success in the English, reading and writing sections of the exam. Getting familiar with some of the more frequently used words on the test is important. However, it’s best to break up the studying into chunks. Select a few words to master each day with flash cards. Hopefully, students will start to see etymological patterns that will help them make educated guesses when they don’t know a word.

• Take a break: It’s tempting to assume a lastminute study session the evening before the exam is going to make or break their performance, but a mental breather is actually a better use of time. Urge your child to get a good night’s sleep not just the night before the test, but that entire week. Pre-test jitters may lead to insomnia, but having a solid foundation of rest will help ensure your student is alert on

test day. The morning of the test, encourage them to eat a healthy, filling breakfast and do activities that will warm up their brain, such as reading a book or solving a crossword puzzle. Sufficient preparation and great study tools can alleviate college entrance exam anxieties so that your student walks into their testing center with confidence.
