CHARITABLE ORG BFY-PROBATE
This bill clarifies the definition of 'beneficiary designation' to include various financial accounts and retirement plans, excluding annuities and insurance policies.

IL HB4217
COUNTIES CD-DEFENDER POWERS
The bill allows public defenders in Illinois to represent clients not only in criminal cases but also in related proceedings about driver's license suspensions that stem from the same arrest. This means that defendants can have the same legal representation for both issues, potentially simplifying their legal process. The goal is to ensure that individuals receive comprehensive legal support during their cases.
