Munoz helped pass a bill to grant Illinois’ children of illegal immigrants access to instate tuition levels so that they can continue their education at the state’s public colleges and universities. This bill would allow students who have attended school in Illinois for at least three years and graduated from a high school in Illinois to pay in-state tuition regardless of their immigration status. In 2006, Munoz co-sponsored a bill to expand the ability of local police agencies to use money generated by fines stemming from convictions for driving under the influence.
This bill allows for a much wider use of Driving under the influence funds by law enforcement in combating alcohol-related crimes, like training and setting up check points.
Before this law, the funds could only be used for purchasing equipment.
