		HR0968		LRB104 22274 MST 38656 r
1		HOUSE RESOLUTION
2		    WHEREAS, The future of our nation's productivity and
3		competitiveness in the global marketplace depends on the
4		success of all men and women; and
5		    WHEREAS, Women have been discriminated against in
6		education, the workplace, and society as a whole; and
7		    WHEREAS, Women continue to earn no more than 83 cents on
8		the dollar compared to men; and
9		    WHEREAS, The wage gap is even greater for most women of
10		color; Asian American women earn 94 cents, Native Hawaiian and
11		Pacific Islander women earn 65 cents, African American women
12		earn 66 cents, and Latina women earn 58 cents for every dollar
13		earned by a man; and
14		    WHEREAS, Equal Pay Day, representing all women, was
15		celebrated this year on March 25; Equal Pay Day was originated
16		by the National Committee on Pay Equity in 1996 as a public
17		awareness event to illustrate the gap between men's and
18		women's wages; and
19		    WHEREAS, The pay gap has been shown to start as soon as one
20		year after college; this inequality affects not only women but
		HR0968	- 2 -	LRB104 22274 MST 38656 r
1		their families and society as a whole; and
2		    WHEREAS, The pay gap between women and men has long-term
3		effects on women's economic security; such a gap affects
4		women's Social Security earnings, their ability to save for
5		retirement, and their children's education; and
6		    WHEREAS, Pay equity is closely linked to the eradication
7		of poverty and is essential to having a highly-motivated
8		workforce; and
9		    WHEREAS, Equal Pay Day symbolizes how far into the year a
10		woman must work, on average, to earn as much as a man earned
11		the previous year, with Tuesday being the day in which women's
12		wages catch up to men's wages from the previous week; because
13		women earn less on average than men, they must work longer for
14		the same amount of pay; this wage gap is even greater for most
15		women of color; and
16		    WHEREAS, Equal pay is a priority for all women and for our
17		society at large; therefore, be it
18		    RESOLVED, BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES OF THE ONE
19		HUNDRED FOURTH GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS, that
20		we declare March 25, 2026 as Pay Equity Day in the State of
21		Illinois; and be it further
		HR0968	- 3 -	LRB104 22274 MST 38656 r
1		    RESOLVED, That we encourage the citizens of this State to
2		learn about the pay gap that women experience in society and to
3		learn about these various dates that bring attention to the
4		pay gap that specific groups experience.

Declares March 25, 2026 as Pay Equity Day in the State of Illinois. Encourages the citizens of this State to learn about the pay gap that women experience in society and to learn about these various dates that bring attention to the pay gap that specific groups experience.
