Illinois Law

Illinois has many roads, interstates, and the famous Route 66, but sometimes tiredness takes over and you may need to sleep for a bit. So, is it legal to sleep in your car?

Illinois was once the toughest state for how old children must be to stay home alone. That changed early this year and is now up to the parents to decide.

I always found this so respectful when a funeral procession is happening that vehicles pull over and stop to pay respect, but do you have to?

Take note, parents! A new proposed law in Illinois would lower the age at which children can legally stay home by themselves.

A new year is upon us soon, and with that new laws. There are over 200 new laws that start January 1, 2019 in the state of Illinois, here are a few that will affect you.

I see it all the time: drivers texting and driving. Luckily, I have avoided being in an accident with a distracted driver but many have been seriously injured or lost their lives at the hand of a texting driver. Well, Illinois is about to get a big wake up call that will hopefully put an end to the practice once and for all.

It was always told me when my girls where younger that they should stay rear-facing in their car seats until they turned two. It was highly recommended by my pediatrician that I follow that procedure. And now, it's not just a suggestion. It's an Illinois law.

With the hot summer days upon up, its not only important to take care of yourself, but your four-legged friends too.
