Verified. I could not open the NBC URL directly because of robots restrictions, but an AOL-hosted syndication of Jared Perlo’s May 27, 2026 NBC News article contains the exact submitted wording and attributes it to Illinois Rep. Daniel Didech. Ars Technica independently reproduces the same wording and says Didech told NBC News.
