TOLL HWY-NO TOLL IL NAT GUARD

This bill allows active members of the Illinois National Guard to use toll highways for free if they have a special permit from the Illinois State Toll Highway Authority. The bill requires the Authority to create rules for issuing this permit. Essentially, it aims to provide financial relief to service members while they travel on toll roads.

Supporters of this bill would highlight it as a way to honor and support the brave men and women serving in the National Guard. They might argue that it recognizes the sacrifices made by these service members and helps ease their financial burdens during their service.

Critics may argue that the bill could lead to a loss of revenue for the toll highway system, which is funded by tolls. They might also express concerns about the administrative burden of issuing permits and whether it sets a precedent for other groups seeking similar benefits.
