Starting July 1, 2025, new laws in Illinois will change gas prices, wages, and hotel rules across the state!
Gas prices are going up! Illinois drivers will now pay 48.3 cents per gallon in taxes, the 2nd highest in the U.S.
Chicago minimum wage increases to $16.60/hour. Youth job programs get $16.50/hour.
Hotels with 50+ rooms can’t give out tiny shampoo bottles anymore—goodbye clutter!
No more license suspensions just for skipping court on minor traffic tickets.
There are also new rules to help teachers, hunters, and even foxes stay protected and better managed.
