State lawmakers are busy as over 300 new laws are set to take effect in 2025. Notable changes include new whistleblower protections, expanded mental health coverage for first responders, and changes aimed at making medical debt less financially damaging. The new Worker Freedom of Speech Act shields workers from employer discipline for refusing to attend meetings on politics or religion, and new rules add protection against job discrimination based on family responsibilities. Updates to traffic safety laws, especially those protecting emergency responders, impose tougher penalties for violations in hopes of improving roadside safety, according to the Disparti Law Group.
Economically, Illinois remains at the forefront of business development, chalking up more than 660 corporate facility investment deals in the past year, trailing only Texas nationwide. State officials point to a diverse economy, wide-ranging workforce training initiatives, and robust logistics infrastructure—including five international airports and the nation’s third-largest highway system—as key engines of growth. The new “Surplus to Success” economic development package delivers $300 million for business site readiness and targeted manufacturing investments, while a separate $500 million fund is accelerating innovation in emerging industries such as quantum computing. These efforts, detailed by Site Selection Magazine, aim to keep Illinois a magnet for talent and investment.
On the community front, Mundelein High School District 120 has put forward a $149.5 million referendum for a major renovation and expansion, aiming to address both overcrowding and outdated facilities as enrollment climbs past 2,200. The district plans to use $50 million in non-referendum capital funds to offset costs, with construction slated to start in the spring if the measure passes this November. According to district officials, the upgrades would modernize classrooms, add space for skilled trades training, and resolve health and safety concerns.
Infrastructure spending continues under the multi-year Rebuild Illinois plan, with over $2 billion invested in the current fiscal year alone. Projects target roads, bridges, schools, and public facilities. In East St. Louis, a new $13 million affordable housing development sold out rapidly, reflecting both demand and momentum behind broader neighborhood revitalization efforts.
No significant weather emergencies were reported in September, leaving most public attention on politics, economic growth, and community renewal.
Looking ahead, attention will center on the outcome of the Mundelein schools referendum, further developments in the statehouse as lawmakers finalize next year’s budget, emerging clarity on the new crypto regulation law signed in August, and ongoing debates in Washington and Springfield about political civility and public safety.
