Emergency Regulations Are in Effect
On Monday, August 7, 2023, the Illinois Department of Labor (IDOL) released emergency regulations in response to House Bill 2862 being signed into law that are effective immediately.

Proposed Permanent Regulations on the Horizon
Additionally, on Monday August 7, 2023, the IDOL also released a notice of “Proposed” Regulations that will eventually replace the IDOL’s new emergency regulations once they have gone through the official notice and public comment process required for the implementation of new regulations issued by the IDOL.
