Illinois Makes Permanent Drink & Education Changes | Chicago News

Illinois just made permanent what started as a pandemic lifeline: bars and restaurants can now legally sell to-go cocktails and single-serve wine — no more temporary workarounds, just good times on the go. But this isn’t the only big change — a sweeping new law package reshapes everything from driving rules to school safety. Older drivers aged 79-86 no longer need a driving test to renew, just a vision check. Schools now have clearer tools to combat cyberbullying — even AI-generated deepfakes are covered. And two new state agencies are launching: one to unify early childhood services, the other to guarantee legal aid for all. Illinois is shifting gears — and this time, it’s for good.
