Illinois enacts new laws raising minimum wage, banning single-use plastics, and restricting employer hiring practices.

In 2025, Illinois introduces several new laws, including raising the minimum wage to $15/hour for most workers, eliminating subminimum wages for disabled workers, and requiring job listings to post salary and benefits. Digital driver's licenses are now allowed, and employers cannot verify job applicants' eligibility to work in the U.S. or use predictive AI in hiring. Other changes include banning single-use plastic bottles in hotels, requiring insurance coverage for hearing aids, and setting a $60 cap on Epinephrine injectors.
