Senator Loughran Cappel

SPRINGFIELD – The number of days substitute teachers can be in a classroom in an emergency situation has increased thanks to State Senator Meg Loughran Cappel, a staunch supporter of education.

“We have seen the continued impact the teacher shortage has had on our students,” said Loughran Cappel (D-Shorewood). “By increasing the number of days substitute teachers can be in the classroom, we are providing students with consistency.”

Loughran Cappel’s law allows a substitute teacher who has filled a vacancy left by a licensed teacher to teach in an emergency situation for 90 days or until the end of the semester, whichever is greater, if the school distinct files a written request with the appropriate regional office of education and is still looking for a qualified, licensed applicant.

SPRINGFIELD – Submarine veterans in Illinois can get a special license plate on Jan. 1 thanks to a new law spearheaded by State Senator Meg Loughran Cappel.

“Honoring the sacrifices of our veterans is one of my top priorities,” said Loughran Cappel (D-Shorewood). “Our armed forces devote their lives to protecting our freedom. This is one way to show our support and thank them for their dedication and service to our country.”

House Bill 1581 allows the Secretary of State to issue United States Submarine Veteran license plates to Illinois residents who served in the United States Navy as a submariner. New York and Connecticut offer similar submarine service license plates.

The Illinois Secretary of State's Office offers a number of different specialty license plates. Requests for these license plates can be accepted at Driver Services Facilities.
