Illinois Enacts Immigration-Friendly Laws and Tax Hikes
News summary

Illinois has enacted a new law allowing undocumented immigrants to obtain standard driver's licenses, replacing the previous Temporary Visitor’s Driver’s License (TVDL). The new licenses, which display 'Federal Limits Apply,' aim to reduce stigma and discrimination while enhancing road safety. Applicants must still pass driving tests, have valid insurance, and prove residency in Illinois for at least one year. The law also restricts the sharing of driver information for immigration enforcement unless a court-issued warrant is provided. Additionally, new laws in Illinois include protections for young social media influencers and tax increases, such as a hike in the state gas tax. These changes reflect Illinois' progressive stance on immigration and consumer protections.
