Every year, January 1st marks the day that new laws take effect in the State of Illinois. The new laws cover a wide range of areas, including: police, pets, drunk drivers, teen drinking, intoxicants, health, hunting, breastfeeding, the elderly, schools, divorce, child custody, driving violations, animal cruelty, and more.
