Legislatively, the Congressman introduced several pieces of legislation and pushed for funding to help communities across the 16th District. In addition to securing funding for expanding broadband and helping recovery efforts in towns that need it most, Congressman Kinzinger also saw his legislation become law. Here are just a few of those legislative wins in 2019: The Abraham Lincoln National Heritage Area Amendment Act added Livingston County, the City of Freeport in Stephenson County, and the City of Jonesboro in Union County to the Abraham Lincoln National Heritage Area (ALNHA) to ensure all sites of Lincoln's legal career and the Lincoln-Douglas debates would be included. This bipartisan, Kinzinger-led provision was included in the final Lands Package and signed into law in March. Congressman Kinzinger co-authored bipartisan legislation on fair-drug pricing that quickly passed the House with overwhelming support and was signed into law on September 27, 2019. TheFair and Accurate Medicaid Pricing Actclosed a loophole that allowed pharmaceutical companies to charge higher prices for medications and send the bill to the taxpayers. Last week, the President signed into law the Telephone Robocall Abuse Criminal Enforcement and Deterrence (TRACED) Act. Congressman Kinzinger was a co-sponsor of the House version of the anti-Robocall legislation, and spoke in favor of its passage on the House floor. The bipartisan, bicameral bill authorizes the FCC to impose fines on violators and require phone companies to verify callers and help push back on the bombardment of robocalls. In the final National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year 2020, Congressman Kinzinger secured several legislative wins like the Caesar Syria Civilian Protection Act and the Protecting Europe's Energy Security Act, among others. The FY 2020 NDAA was signed into law on December 20, 2019. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
