New state laws taking effect in 2024

Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker signed more than 150 laws that go into effect next year, many on Jan. 1st, 2024.

One of the new laws will allow noncitizens to become police officers. Another will give legal recourse to victims of "deepfake" pornography. And another requires all residents who own any of 170 "assault-style weapons" banned under law to register them with the state police.

Here is a list of some of the laws going into effect in 2024:

Minimum wage for non-tipped workers increases to $14; for tipped employees, it increases to $8.40.

The Digital Forgeries Act will give victims legal recourse if they are the victim of "deep fakes," or digitally altered sexually explicit images.

Noncitizen immigrants who have a work permit will be eligible to become police officers.

Videoconferencing while driving will be banned.

Vaping indoors in public places is banned.

Employees must receive up to two weeks of unpaid leave if a family member is killed in a crime of violence.

Anyone sentenced to life in prison on or before June 1, 2019 before turning 21 becomes eligible for parole after serving 40 years.
