Last update: 5 hours ago

LGBTQ+ Protections: Gov. JB Pritzker signed three new laws ahead of Chicago Pride, including limits on out-of-state use of Illinois medical records for gender-affirming care, expanded hormone-therapy coverage, and new rules for how gender markers appear on state IDs and driver’s licenses. Public Health: Illinois is moving to universal childhood blood lead testing starting July 1, with testing at ages 12 and 24 months and follow-up steps when elevated levels are found. Natural Resources Leadership: Pritzker announced IDNR Director Natalie Phelps Finnie will depart at month’s end, citing growth, staffing boosts, and renewed investment in parks and conservation. Jobs Watch: Northern Illinois unemployment rates were mostly flat or down in May, though still higher than a year ago, according to IDES figures. Economic Development: International Paper plans to close its Aurora sheet plant and wind down operations in Elk Grove and Barrington by late Q3 2026. Community & Safety: Chicago’s Pride Parade drew massive crowds, with organizers emphasizing heat precautions and medical support along the route.
