(The Center Square) – Gov. J.B. Pritzker can now enact a measure enhancing the state’s migrant sanctuary policies that Republicans warn is too broad. House Bill 1312 was originally filed by state Rep. Maura Hirschauer, D-Batavia, in January, and started as a POW/MIA Recognition Day bill. It passed unanimously in the House in April and was read in the Senate for a second time in May, but was never approved before the end of spring session. In October, the Senate placed it up for final passage until Senate President Don Harmon filed an amendment on Oct. 30, changing the bill to the Illinois Bivens Act on the final day of scheduled veto session.
