These Illinois laws take effect on July 1
Worker protection laws and a new law allowing undocumented immigrants to get driver's licenses all take effect next month. Illinois' new laws, including worker protection laws and a law allowing undocumented immigrants to obtain driver's licenses, will take effect on July 1. The new law, HB 3882, will replace the current Temporary Visitor Driver's License (TVDL), which requires immigrants to pass a driving test, provide proof of Illinois residency for at least one year, and provide insurance. The bill includes punishments for "contracting entities" that do not pay on time, worker protections from discrimination, and a formalized complaint procedure. The act defines freelance workers as individuals hired or retained as an independent contractor by a contracting entity in exchange for an amount equal to or greater than $500.

ILLINOIS, USA — While most laws in Illinois take effect on the first day of the year, others don't start until the midpoint of the year, July 1.
With July 1 right around the corner, these laws are about to hit the books in Illinois.
Undocumented immigrants will soon be able to acquire a driver's license after HB 3882 was signed into law last year. The new law will allow immigrants to get a standard four-year license to replace the current Temporary Visitor Driver's License(TVDL).
Immigrants will be required to pass a driving test, provide proof of Illinois residency for at least one year and provide proof of car insurance.
"It will help prevent the stigma, instances of discrimination, and problems that TVDLs have been known to cause while making roads safer and enabling immigrants to use a standard license as identification for basic necessities like filling prescriptions or renting an apartment," he said in a statement last year.
Freelance workers are defined in the law as a "person who is hired or retained as an independent contractor by a contracting entity to provide products or services in Illinois or for a contracting entity located in Illinois in exchange for an amount equal to or greater than $500, either in a single contract or when aggregated with all contracts for products or services between the same contracting entity and the freelance worker during the immediately preceding 120 days."
The bill includes punishments for "contracting entities" that do not pay on time, worker protections from discrimination and a formalized complaint procedure, among other changes.
The act says any child under the age of 16 is considered to be doing the work of "vlogging" if "at least 30% of the vlogger's compensated video content produced within a 30-day period included the likeness, name, or photograph of the minor" and the page meets a payment threshold through the site the content is published.
