Sen. Ram Villivalam (D-Chicago) speaks at the Senate Executive Committee Sunday. 

A bill removing a requirement that anyone legally changing their name post a notice is going back to the House.  

HB5164 passed the Senate Executive Committee during the November veto session, but was amended at the request of the State’s Attorneys Association. The amendment says that if someone with a criminal background legally changes their name, Illinois State Police must update criminal records to reflect both names.
