IFB URGING MEMBERS TO VOTE “NO”

(BLOOMINGTON) The Illinois Farm Bureau has launched an “action request” asking members to contact their State Senators to urge them to vote “no” on proposed legislation that could allow the Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) to regulate every size wetland in the state. The IFB says SB 771, previously known as SB 3669, represents the most extensive legislation to regulate wetlands of all sizes in the history of Illinois & is generally disguised by allowing very limited exemptions. The request runs until further notice.
