New Laws &
Recent Updates...

Illinois Governor Pat Quinn
recently signed several pieces of
legislation that will impact
Township governments.  The
legislation amended both the
Township Code and the Highway
Code.  We have prepared two
brief Memoranda that outline the
changes to the Code.  To read
the Memoranda  or the text of the
new legislation, please click

The Illinois Religious Freedom
Protection and Civil Union Act
(“the Act”) went into effect on
June 1, 2011.  Basically, the Act
provides that a party to a civil
union must receive the same
treatment as a spouse would
under Illinois law.
