ATTENTION ILLINOIS: Urge Committee Members Again to Oppose HB4640

Our Stand: At-A-Glance

HB4640 was not called at the Human Services Committee hearing by the bill sponsor, Rep. Deb Conroy (D), on Wednesday, February 2^nd.
On February 3^rd, HB4640 was moved to the 9:00 am, February 9^th, Human Services Committee hearing meeting, which means … there is a NEW Witness Slip to complete.
HB4640, which will create the ACCESS TO PUBLIC HEALTH DATA ACT, will amend the Department of Public Health Act, the Vital Records Act, and the Illinois Controlled Substance Act that will seek to allow health departments to access your private electronic health records easily and seamlessly.
It is our understanding from reading through the HB4640 amendments to existing legislation that HB4244 [the IMMUNIZATIONS DATA REGISTRY bill/Sponsor Rep. Bob Morgan (D)] and HB4640 likely go hand in hand in that HB4640 will make it extremely easy to access the immunization data that HB4244 seeks to make health provider disclosure of vaccine records mandatory with an automatic “opt in”.
HB4640 is a violation of the U.S. Constitution and a HUGE OVERSTEP by government which will destroy any remaining public trust in Illinois state leadership.
Please join your fellow Illinoisans in ensuring that the voice of the people can always be heard. Simply click to email your elected officials and then call to urge them to oppose HB4640.
In addition, make sure you have completed a Witness Slip to oppose this bill.
