Today, State Representative Jackie Haas (R-Kankakee) has been appointed to the Joint Committee on Administrative Rules (JCAR) by House Republican Leader Tony McCombie (R-Savanna). This marks Rep. Haas's second term on the committee, having previously served during the 103rd General Assembly.

Rep. Haas expressed her enthusiasm for continuing her work with JCAR: “I am looking forward to my second term serving as a member of the Joint Committee on Administrative Rules (JCAR),” she stated. “The work we do on JCAR is absolutely critical to ensuring our state agencies are properly carrying out the laws we pass in the General Assembly. I am honored to continue doing this critical work alongside my colleagues in the House and Senate.”

JCAR operates as a bipartisan, bicameral oversight body. In her role, Rep. Haas will be one of 12 lawmakers responsible for overseeing rule-making by state agencies, ensuring alignment with legislative intent, and keeping the General Assembly informed about law implementation.

“My focus remains on the people we are all elected to serve," concluded Rep. Haas. "Our constituents deserve state agencies that function efficiently. In collaboration with my colleagues, I remain hopeful that we will be able to deliver real results to the people of Illinois.”
