A new measure that would keep people convicted of committing a hate crime, sedition or treason from doing business with the city of Chicago advanced Monday.

People convicted of committing a hate crime, sedition or treason would be banned from doing business with the city of Chicago under a measure that advanced Monday.Spurred by the Jan. 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol, Ald. Gilbert Villegas introduced the measure earlier this year with Ald. Brendan Reilly . A revised measure, which was unanimously endorsed by the Contracting Oversight and Equity Committee on Monday, added a ban on contracts with those convicted of hate crimes.

The measure would also ban city contracts from being awarded to those removed from public office after an impeachment proceeding. Villegas, who is running for Congress from a newly created district that stretches from the Northwest Side to the suburbs, also called for the city to remove Trump Tower’s riverside sign after the insurrection.While former President Donald Trump was impeached for his role in connection with the Jan. 6 insurrection, he had left office before the U.S. Senate failed to convict him on those charges.
