Drivers will pay more to renew their Illinois license plates next year in order to help fund repairs to state parks, strip clubs will have to contribute to rape crisis programs and employers will no longer be allowed to ask job applicants for their social media passwords.
Those are among 150 new laws approved this year which will take effect on New Year’s Day.
Other new laws include one which prohibits the possession of shark fins, and another intended to improve reporting requirements when someone has a mental illness that may make them unsuited to own a gun.
