State Representative Michael Coffey (IL) | Representative Michael J. Coffey, Jr. (R) 95th District
Rep. Coffey had a full schedule this week in the capital city, engaging in various activities such as sessions, a press conference, the Emerging Women Leaders Event, committee meetings, and discussions with constituents about their concerns.
During the busy week, Rep. Coffey made a statement regarding House Bill 793, expressing concerns about its potential impact on individuals with disabilities. Coffey emphasized, "Currently, the individuals with disabilities enjoy job security but more importantly take pride in their ability to work and be active contributing members of society. The 14 C certificate ensures fair wages and quality services for these individuals. House Bill 793 does not help these workers. It puts their jobs at risk and jeopardizes their financial stability."
Rep. Coffey's advocacy for the fair treatment and protection of workers with disabilities highlights the importance of considering the potential consequences of legislative actions on vulnerable populations.
