Wishing everyone a safe and happy 4th of July! 🎊

Big news, Illinois. We got it done. For years, businesses could show you one price and then sneak in extra charges right before you hit “pay.” Service fees, processing fees, convenience fees, bag fees. Costs nobody asked for. That ends now. (1/4)

It's official: the Junk Fee Ban Act is now law in Illinois. For too long, Illinois families have been losing approximately $3,000 a year to deceptive junk fees: sneaky charges tacked on right before checkout that you never agreed to. Today, that changes. (1/4)

As the Illinois GA concludes its 2026 Spring Session, I’ve been reflecting on my role in Springfield and what my colleagues and I were able to accomplish this year. Thank you for entrusting me with this work. Click the link below to read my thoughts ⬇ repbobmorgan.com/representati...

We took an important step toward tackling Illinois’ pension debt. In partnership with Senator Martwick, we passed legislation to extend the bipartisan, voluntary COLA Buyout Program for an additional 2 years - building on a solution that’s already reduced our pension (1/3)

Taxpayer dollars should never be used to reward attacks on our democracy. Yet today, we’re seeing a dangerous precedent unfold. Trump created a $1.8 billion “Anti-Weaponization Fund” which would allow individuals who claim they were “wronged” by the federal government (1/4)

No one should have to fear gun violence when casting their vote. Yet as political rhetoric grows more extreme and polarization deepens, threats against election officials are on the rise. (1/3) #illinois #chicago #springfieldillinois #banguns #fyp

Dedicating over 40 years of his life to public service, Senator Dick Durbin joined us in Springfield today to reflect on his career in DC. From banning smoking on flights to spearheading the appointment of U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson (1/2)

With less than a week to finalize Illinois’ state budget, one of my top priorities in Springfield is continuing funding for our Nonprofit Security Grant Program. At a time when hate crimes and targeted violence are on the rise, no one should feel unsafe because of who they are or how they worship.

This Memorial Day, we honor the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to our country. Their sacrifice will never be forgotten, and may we live in a way that reflects the freedom they fought to protect.

Ensuring firearms are kept out of the hands of those who pose a clear and present danger is essential to public safety. My bill, HB 4999, passed out of the House GVP Committee to strengthen and clarify how mental health reporting works within the FOID process. (1/5)

Grateful for @bobmorganil.bsky.social, Sen. Aquino, and @ilattygeneral.bsky.social for their leadership in crafting and passing this bill to ensure Illinois keeps standing up for affordability, accountability, and transparency. I look forward to signing this into law and banning hidden junk fees.

Illinois consumers have been nickel-and-dimed out of thousands of dollars per year by unnecessary and deceptive junk fees. I am proud that the Illinois General Assembly has passed legislation to put money back in the pockets of families and establish fair, honest pricing.

BIG NEWS!! 🎉 Hidden junk fees are no longer allowed in Illinois. Thank you Senator Omar Aquino and @repbobmorgan.bsky.social for your leadership and years of partnership. Read our statement: economicsecurity.us/news/esila-a...

Moments ago, the “Junk Fee Ban Act” officially passed both chambers and is now on its way to Governor JB Pritzker's desk for his signature! Those undisclosed fees you see at the bottom of your receipt, typically known as “convenience fees” or “processing fees”, cost you $3,000 a year. (1/2)
