Governor J.B. Pritzker signed dozens of bills into law this month. Here’s a few you may not have heard about yet.
Some of the new laws require insurance coverage for preventative liver screenings and medically necessary compression sleeves. There’s also one that requires new construction of single-family homes and apartment buildings to include basic infrastructure for electric vehicle charging stations. State Representative Robyn Gabel sponsored the bill in the House.
There’s also now a law requiring colleges and universities to provide transcripts to students even if the student owes money to the school. Massage therapists will have to take an additional hour of continuing education on domestic violence and sexual assault awareness. Another law lowers the age to be a State Conservation Police Officer to 20. Other new laws will help survivors of human trafficking get any criminal records expunged and another law will let podiatrists give basic vaccinations to adult patients.
