This publication reviews 56 bills introduced in the 95th General Assembly that, if signed into law by the Governor, would have the most direct positive and negative impacts on communities of color. The "2007-2008 Illinois Legislative Report Card on Racial Equity" evaluates the Governor and legislators on their responses to these initiatives. Assessed are whether the legislation (1) explicitly addresses racial outcomes and works to eliminate racial inequities; (2) increases access to public benefits and institutions for communities of color; (3) advances enfranchisement and full civic participation for all Illinoisans; (4) protects against racial violence, racial profiling, and discrimination; and (5) is enforceable and has instituted mechanisms ensuring accountability. The Report Card assigns letter grades to Illinois lawmakers based upon their support in 2007 for 56 pieces of legislation aimed at improving civil rights, criminal justice, economic justice, educational equity, health equity, and housing and community development.
