(Springfield, IL) — Hundreds of new Illinois laws taking effect in 2026 focus on gun safety, crime reporting, and victims’ rights. One major change requires gun owners to securely store firearms when minors or prohibited individuals are in the home, with penalties funding mental health programs. Other laws expand protections for victims of sexual assault, stalking, and human trafficking, streamline missing-persons reports, and make it easier for police to remove squatters.
