Rep. McAuliffe joined House Republican Leader Jim Durkin in pushing forward House Bill 5513, which creates the police memorial instant ticket and requires that net proceeds go to the Criminal Justice Information Projects Fund. The funds are then to be divided equally among the Chicago Police Memorial Foundation Fund, the Police Memorial Committee Fund, and the Illinois State Police Memorial Fund. The three designated police memorial funds provide support to families of officers who have been killed or severely injured in the line of duty.
"The money voluntarily generated by these games will help to ensure that proper care is given to the fitting tributes all over the state to those who gave their lives for our continued safety," Rep. McAuliffe said.
The new law goes into effect Jan. 1, 2019.
