State Representative Nicole La Ha released the following statement regarding new laws set to take effect here in 2025:
“Did you know that 293 new laws are set to take effect on January 1st, 2025?
These laws include ensuring more insurance coverage for hearing aids, allowing daycares to be open longer to better serve working families and strengthening Scott’s Law to better protect motorists on our highways.
I’d like to highlight a few that I’ve co-sponsored that I’m particularly proud of.
SB 275 would increase access to transportation and lead to less time waiting in line for Illinoisans who need to renew their driver’s licenses.
HB 4059 requires the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services, or any state agency that assumes day care licensing responsibilities, to host licensing orientation programs for individuals interested in becoming day care providers at least twice annually in each representative district in the state.
SB 3350, sponsored by Illinois House Minority Leader Tony McCombie and co-sponsored by myself, allows the Illinois Department of Human Services to establish or authorize a program for dispensing and distributing fentanyl test strips.
