know your legal rights!
A public service announcement to all Illinois drivers. Starting January 1, 2014, drivers on Illinois roadways will be banned from the use of “electronic communication devices” while driving.
The law currently in effect in Illinois, bans texting and emailing while driving. The new law greatly expands prohibited conduct while behind the wheel, with a few narrow exceptions. Those exceptions will include things like hands-free telephone calls, GPS navigation, CB and HAM radios, and emergency situations.
If you believe you were discriminated in the work place against becasue of your race, sex, religion and/or national origin and you worked in the City of Chicago, you can file a claim, free of charge and without the need of an attorney with four governmental agencies: the City of Chicago Commission on Human Relations; the Cook County Human Rights Commission; the Illinois Department of Human Rights; the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.
