Protecting grieving families: Senator Collins pledges to fight governor's veto

 I joined Treasurer Michael Frerichs to express our disappointment in Governor Rauner's veto of House Bill 302, which would require life insurance companies to search their electronic records for any unpaid death benefits dating back to 2000 that should have been paid to grieving families. When people pay into these insurance plans, they reasonably expect their loved ones to collect that investment. This would ensure that beneficiaries receive what they are due. I'm committed to standing at the forefront of efforts to override this veto. Listen to audio of my comments at a recent press conference calling for that override below.
