QUINCY, Ill. (WGEM) -- A new bill filed last week in Springfield implies that it would ban pumping your own fuel at all Illinois gas stations, but that's not the case according to the sponsor Rep. Camille Y. Lilly (D-Oak Park).
The synopsis for HB4571 states, "Creates the Gas Station Attendant Act. Provides that no gas may be pumped at a gas station in this State unless it is pumped by a gas station attendant employed at the gas station. Effective January 1, 2021."
WGEM's Illinois Capital Bureau Chief Mike Miletich spoke with Rep. Lilly Monday afternoon. She says the bill will not ban pumping your own gas.
Lilly said the bill language will be amended to give people an option when they go to gas stations.
She said customers could ask for help from an attendant or pump the gas themselves.
Lilly says she saw this idea is working in Atlanta. She says it's especially valuable for families with small children or people with disabilities. It also could help create local jobs.
The bill currently sits in the house rules committee.
