Every day, 100 Americans are killed by senseless gun violence. I am taking steps to protect our families and keep our community safe. I supported Senate Bill 1966 to close dangerous loopholes in the FOID card system and help keep deadly firearms out of the wrong hands. #WearOrange
Today marks the 75th anniversary of allied forces landing in Normandy, France and winning a decisive victory that helped lead to the end of World War II. Let us take a moment today to remember the sacrifices made by the Greatest Generation to keep our nation safe and free.
I supported a bipartisan, balanced budget that boosts funding for MAP grants and scholarship programs to allow more Illinois youth to attend college. I support our colleges and universities, and will continue to work to make college more affordable for students.
SPRINGFIELD, Ill. – State Rep. Debbie Meyers-Martin, D-Olympia Fields, released the following statement regarding the end of the Illinois General Assembly’s regularly scheduled spring session:
“During my first legislative session as a state representative, my commitment has been to strengthen the middle class and fight to help Illinois recover from four years of destruction at the hands of former Governor Bruce Rauner. While our state faces a long road ahead filled with many difficult decisions, House Democrats have worked to build a stronger Illinois by building a stronger middle class throughout the spring.
“I fought to hold the line on middle-class taxes by supporting the Fair Tax, because families in our community bear too much of the current tax burden. The power to enact these structural reforms now sits in the hands of the voters who will have the opportunity to approve this amendment next year and provide 97% of Illinoisans with real tax relief.
“While extreme politicians in Washington continue to attack our health care, I stood up for the families in our community by supporting new protections for people with pre-existing conditions, passing measures capping skyrocketing insurance premiums and addressing the rising costs of prescription medication.
“I also supported legislation to expand access to career and vocational training. This measure will not only help by investing in our economy, but prepare people in our community for high wage jobs, revitalizing the American Dream for thousands.
“Despite this, there are many challenges that remain for myself and my colleagues in the months ahead, including but not limited to, enacting meaningful property tax relief for those who need it most. Regardless, I remain optimistic about our path forward because too much is at stake to let partisan politics get in the way of a stronger Illinois.”

“THIS INITIATIVE AIMS TO REDUCE THE AMOUNT OF PEOPLE IN ILLINOIS WHO DON’T UTILIZE BANKS, CREDIT UNIONS AND OTHER FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS THAT COULD OTHERWISE HELP THEM”
(Springfield, Ill) Legislation sponsored by State Representative Debbie Meyers-Martin to help the unbanked and under-banked population in Illinois gain accessibility to traditional retail banking products, passed the House with bipartisan support and will now go to the Governor for further consideration.
“We have people who are not aware of the sound financial services and or resources banks in Illinois provide,” Meyers-Martin said. That lack of awareness causes people to be susceptible to scams or predatory loans, which only have long term consequences for them and their loved ones.”
Meyers-Martin’s Senate Bill 1332 is an initiative of the Illinois Comptroller Susana Mendoza’s office to create the Illinois Bank on Initiative. This initiative aims to reduce the amount of people in Illinois who don’t utilize banks, credit unions or any other financial institutions that could otherwise help them. Many people in Illinois are not aware of various affordable financial services offered by the banking industry that can help them save money over their lifetime. Additionally, the bill creates a 13 member commission to advise the Comptroller on the implementation and promotion of the Illinois Bank On Initiative.
“This bill is now a step closer to helping residents make better financial decisions,” Meyers-Martin said. “When this bill gets to the Governor’s desk, I encourage him to sign it immediately so we can start putting countless Illinoisans on a path to fiscal stability.”
SPRINGFIELD, Ill –Legislation sponsored by state Representative Debbie Meyers-Martin, D-Olympia Fields, to assist the unbanked and underbanked population in Illinois to gain accessibility to traditional retail banking products, recently advanced out of the House State Government Administration Committee.
“Families without bank accounts and other basic financial services are continually forced to shell out money to pay extremely high fees and interest rates from predatory service providers,” Meyers-Martin said. “For thousands of Illinois families, this means a seemingly perpetual cycle of poor credit, lack of access to affordable loans and thousands of dollars taken out of their paycheck every year.”

Additionally, the bill also creates a 13 member commission to advise the Comptroller on the implementation and promotion of the Illinois Bank On Initiative.
“In today’s economy, families need the resources modern banking provides to survive and build a better life for their families,” Meyers-Martin said. “The Illinois Bank On Initiative is a proactive approach to connect people with affordable financial services so they can escape exorbitant fees and achieve the financial stability they need to build wealth for themselves and our communities.”
