New Laws: SOS Initiated Laws Take Effect

Several new laws initiated by Illinois Secretary of State Alexi Giannoulias take effect January 1. The initiatives were passed in 2023 by the Illinois General Assembly before being signed into law.

 “I wish all Illinoisans a safe, healthy and happy New Year. The laws going into effect today will make our roads safer, increase voter access and protect our libraries and librarians,” Giannoulias said. “But this is just the beginning. My office has big plans for 2024 as we continue to strive to deliver the best possible results for all Illinoisans.”
