(Chicago, IL) — Hundreds of new state laws take effect at the start of the year. They include body camera regulations and police reforms. Another law would fine people who make fake 9-1-1 calls, and four-time D-U-I convicts will be required to use an interlock device. To lighten things up, Pumpkin Pie will become the official state pie, because Illinois is the nation’s leading producer of pumpkin.
