GOVERNOR J-B PRITZKER SIGNED 90 BILLS INTO LAW FRIDAY. HERE'S A LOOK AT A FEW OF THEM...
THE LAWS RANGE FROM REQUIRING LARGE MUSIC VENUES TO HAVE NARCAN ON HAND IN CASE SOMEONE OVERDOSES...TO ELIMINATING ANY MENTION OF THE DEATH PENALTY IN STATE STATUTES. ONE, FROM REPRESENTATIVE AMY ELIK OF ALTON, MAKES SEPTEMBER 17TH CONSTITUTION DAY AT SCHOOL.
SENATOR MIKE SIMMONS OF CHICAGO SPONSORED LEGISLATION THAT REPLACES PRONOUNS LIKE "HIS" AND "HERS" WITH "THE CHILD" AND REPLACES "MOTHER" WITH "PERSON WHO GAVE BIRTH" IN SEVERAL STATE STATUTES THAT DEAL WITH CHILDREN.
ANOTHER NEW LAW REQUIRES SCHOOLS TO NOTIFY PARENTS WITHIN 24 HOURS OF LEARNING ABOUT A BULLYING INCIDENT. AND GO AHEAD AND HANG THOSE FUZZY DICE FROM YOUR REARVIEW MIRROR, BECAUSE THAT'S NOW LEGAL UNDER A BILL THE GOVERNOR SIGNED.
