Illinois Senate President Don Harmon stalling nursing home retaliation bill, advocates claim – Chicago Sun-Times

A bill filed in Springfield almost a year ago would amend the Illinois Nursing Home Care Act to allow residents to sue facility owners over claims of retaliation for at least two months’ rent and attorney fees, plus statutory damages. Seventeen more senators have signed on as co-sponsors of the bill, but advocates worry Illinois Senate President Don Harmon could let the legislative clock expire on it under pressure from a nursing home industry trade group that opposes the bill — and that has made massive financial contributions to Harmon’s political operation.
