Welcome to 2025, Illinois-where the calendar flips, and so do the rules. A new year means not just resolutions but also a fresh batch of laws to keep life interesting. This year, the state has rolled out hundreds of new rules covering everything from a minimum wage bump to easier ways to cancel that gym membership you forgot you had. But it’s not all about making life easier-some new laws are downright head-turners, with certain things now officially banned in the Land of Lincoln.
