It’s a new year and there are dozens of new laws that take effect in Illinois. Most of the new laws that I reviewed have to do with health insurance and insurance coverage. There were only three (3) new traffic and/or driver laws in Illinois that take effect in 2025. I have outlined these new laws below:
HB 4592 – Allows the Secretary of State to issue mobile ID cards and driver’s licenses.
SB 0275 – The Secretary of State’s Office will be required to offer applicants the option to be issued an 8-year driver’s license within the next two years.
HB 5408 – Drivers will be prohibited from stopping or parking vehicles on shoulders of highways within a half-mile radius of the eastern entrance to Chicago’s O’Hare Airport.
Nothing too dramatic was passed last year by the Illinois legislature that will affect Illinois drivers in 2025, but it is always good to know any new laws that have been enacted.
