Workers’ Comp Reform House Roll Call

The vote on Workers' Comp reform was 55-39-19. That means it fell five votes short.

You may be surprised to see Democrat Jack Franks voting “Yes.”

He didn’t vote that way right away, however. He waited until he knew that the bill would not get the necessary 60 votes to pass.

Look at the video that Statehouse News took, which is below:

You will see that Republican State Representatives Mike Tryon and Mark Beaubien did not support the bill. They voted “No.”

Both the Illinois State Medical Society and the Illinois Hospital Association opposed the bill.

There may be a few Republicans who voted for the bill, but a cursory look at the roll call below did not reveal any to me. Too many names I don’t recognize.

The roll call on House Bill 1698, the Democrats' bill to reform Workers' Compensation.

  1. Normal businesses can’t depend on Tryon to vote for normal support, so businesses don’t keep being ripped off by Democrat “legal” rip offs. Tryon is a liberal when it comes to voting for stupidity.

  2. Normal businesses can’t depend on Tryon to vote for normal support, so businesses don’t keep being ripped off by Democrat “legal” rip offs. Tryon is a liberal when it comes to voting for stupidity.

  3. Didn’t Tryon also water down the original “transparency” legislation a couple of years ago, when the FOIA reform was passed? As one who has worked in the work comp business/P&C Insurance business for more than 20 years, current “reform” by both sides is a myth. Work comp in Illinois is run by one group and one group only — trial lawyers.
