Naperville Central High School graduate authors legislation
Alice Porfiropoulos, who graduated this spring from Naperville Central High School, authored a bill that recently became law. House Bill 2517, which Governor JB Pritzker signed in early August, is designed to bridge the gap in racial disparities.
The law, which goes into effect in July 2026, requires health care providers to receive one hour of training on racial disparities in maternal health before renewing a state license. The training will address the various risk factors that have historically been in place within marginalized groups.
Naperville School District 203 Superintendent Dan Bridges recognized Porfiropoulos, an Illinois global scholar capstone student, for the accomplishment at a board of education meeting on Monday, Aug. 18.
