State Senator Terri Bryant (R-Murphysboro) has been appointed by Senate Republican Leader John Curran (R-Downers Grove) to serve on the Joint Committee on Administrative Rules (JCAR) to fill the Senate Republican vacancy created by the retirement of State Senator Dale Fowler.
JCAR is a bipartisan legislative oversight committee responsible for reviewing administrative rules proposed by state agencies to ensure they are consistent with legislative intent and state law.
“I am honored to have been selected to serve on JCAR and appreciate Leader Curran’s confidence in me,” said Senator Bryant. “State agencies wield significant influence through the rulemaking process, and it is important that lawmakers provide strong oversight to ensure those rules reflect the intent of the General Assembly and serve the people of Illinois.”
Senator Bryant currently serves as Assistant Republican Leader for the Illinois Senate Republican Caucus and represents the 58th Senate District. She has been a leading voice on issues involving government accountability, public safety, and energy policy.
“Senator Bryant has consistently demonstrated a commitment to transparency, accountability, and good government,” said Leader Curran. “Her experience working with many colleagues in the legislature and understanding of public safety will make her an impactful member of the committee. I am proud to appoint her and confident she will be a strong voice for Southern Illinois in this new role.”
The Joint Committee on Administrative Rules is composed of 12 legislators from the Illinois House and Senate and serves as the legislature’s primary oversight body for agency rulemaking.
