Illinois Historic Preservation Legislative Caucus
Bipartisan House & Senate Support

 

The Illinois Historic Preservation Legislative Caucus, since its formation in late 2005, has had several meetings and gatherings and has over 80 members.

With over 80 members from both the House and Senate – almost half of the Legislature - the Illinois Historic Preservation Caucus is the largest issue-based, bi-partisan caucus in Springfield. It was the second historic preservation caucus to be formed at the state legislative level in the country after the state of Washington (1989). In 2006, Hawaii established a cultural heritage caucus.

 

What You Can Do

 

1. If your legislator has joined the caucus, please thank him or her and tell them how important historic preservation is to you & your community.

2.

If your legislator has not joined, please urge him /her to do so.

3.

Refer to the PDF links to view who has joined the caucus and to read about objectives Landmark Illinois proposed the caucus could address.

4.

Several caucus members have put forth bills that will benefit historic preservation in the state of Illinois. Please ask your state legislator to support these bills and if your legislator was the lead sponsor, please thank them.
