Speaking on the House floor, State Rep. Ryan Spain honored the Dorathy family of Tampico, IL, for their efforts to advance legislation filed by Spain, House Bill 2942, to improve safety for young drivers in Illinois. Their son, DJ Dorathy, was tragically killed in a vehicle crash in March of 2024, and his mother, Chasity, has strived to turn their grief into action to improve driving safety for young people in the state.
Chasity joined Spain to present HB 2942 as it was unanimously advanced out of committee to the full House of Representatives on March 12, 2025.
