MPAC joined Oak Park citizens at a Village Board meeting February 16 in voicing their support for the proposed Illinois General Assembly Lawn Care Products Application and Notice Act, SB 1626. The bill proposed by Senator Don Harmon, D-Oak Park, will require more signage for chemical applications on lawns in an effort to protect residents and their pets.  Residents urged the Village Board to support the bill that MPAC played a role in first constructing back in 2015. Harmon and others have since revised the original bill and hope to gather more support for a push this session.
