Rep. Tom Demmer, a Dixon Republican, called the package “a great initiative” that, in addition to encouraging people to get vaccinated, would “support the food and beverage industry, restaurants and bars, that were so dramatically impacted over the course of the last year and are now starting to open their doors to invite people back.”

A bill that the Senate unanimously passed during the previous session in January would have banned prone restraint immediately, but the legislation stalled in the House.
