| HOUSE RESOLUTION
|
| 2 |
| WHEREAS, It has been recently learned that members of the |
| 3 |
| United States military who were over the age of 21 were told by |
| 4 |
| vendors at recent Illinois State Fairs that their military ID, |
| 5 |
| which proves the age of the bearer, was not sufficient to |
| 6 |
| obtain alcoholic beverages; and
|
| 7 |
| WHEREAS, A military ID is recognized by the State in the |
| 8 |
| Liquor Control Act of 1934 as a valid proof of age for the |
| 9 |
| purchase and possession of alcoholic beverages; and
|
| 10 |
| WHEREAS, Soldiers in the United States military are often |
| 11 |
| accustomed to only carrying their military ID if not driving, |
| 12 |
| with the knowledge that it is an accepted form of |
| 13 |
| identification; and
|
| 14 |
| WHEREAS, Many soldiers who have just returned from active |
| 15 |
| duty defending their country have left their driver's licenses |
| 16 |
| with their families, and may wish to attend events such as the |
| 17 |
| Illinois State Fair before returning home to retrieve their |
| 18 |
| driver's license; and
|
| 19 |
| WHEREAS, The Illinois State Fair represents the best of |
| 20 |
| what Illinois has to offer, and we in the House of |
| 21 |
| Representatives believe that members of the Armed Forces |
| 22 |
| represent the best of Illinois; and
|
| 23 |
| WHEREAS, We in the House of Representatives hold the |
| 24 |
| Illinois State Fair in the highest regard and wish it to be an |
| 25 |
| event friendly to our military and accommodating to the special |
| 26 |
| circumstances that find our soldiers without their driver's |
| 27 |
| licenses; therefore, be it
|
| 28 |
| RESOLVED, BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES OF THE |
| 29 |
| NINETY-THIRD GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS, that we |
