Legislative Committee

The IRC Legislative Committee wants to connect IRC members with their Illinois State Senators and Representative and U.S. Senators and Congressmen. This is the best way to have a say in the politics of reading. The Legislative Directory will help you find your legislator's contact information, including addresses, phone numbers, and even email addresses.

Reports and updates regarding important legislative issues are also provided below. These updates will provide you with information on what is happening and suggest that you take action. For more information, please contact the IRC Legislative Committee.
