PARK FOREST - State Senator Patrick Joyce (D-Essex) highlighted that the Illinois Secretary of State’s office will help commercial drivers continue delivering and producing essential goods.
There are three Commercial Drivers License facilities now open to meet the demand being placed on commercial and agricultural enterprises delivering and producing essential goods.
