Keith’s Legislative Experience

Elected to the Illinois House in 2014, Keith took office in January of 2015 in the 99th General Assembly.

Keith passed his first bill later in 2015, HB3887, which requires every agency and department in state government to perform an internal regulatory review of how their administrative rules impact small business and provide a report of those overburdensome rules to the Governor, the General Assembly, and the Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity.  The result of the first regulatory review was to remove more than 900 rules that caused red tape for small businesses in Illinois.
