State Representative Elizabeth “Lisa” Hernandez, D-Cicero, introduced legislation this week that will require the Secretary of State’s office to inform people about free English as a second language classes that may be available near them. Hernandez is leading the charge on House Bill 1557, which would require the Secretary of State to provide people applying for an Illinois Identification Card or a driver’s license a listing of free adult English classes that may be available in their county. The Secretary of State may also guide people to local not-for-profit organizations that may help local residents looking to improve their English skills.
