As reported on 22 April 2010, the Illinois House of Representatives and DNR were working on a legislation that would have required any adult sailing solo in a boat under 26' to wear a life jacket.
On 29 April 2010, the Illinois House of Representatives rejected the proposed legislation, SB 3060. The vote was 32 yeas and 73 nays, soundly rejecting this proposal. This legislation will now be tabled for 2010 but could reappear in future legislatures.
