New School Laws

A digest of state laws affecting Illinois public schools enacted in 2023

IASB Government Relations staff has made every effort to identify which new acts to include. We recognize, however, that one or more acts may have escaped our attention. This publication, therefore, is not intended as a substitute for either a current version of the Illinois Compiled Statutes or legal counsel.

Please note the synopsis of each act is brief and may or may not encompass the full content or impact of the Act. The synopsis is designed to call attention to statutory changes and additions that may merit further research.

Also included in this publication, where applicable, is the IASB Policy Reference Educational Subscription Service (PRESS) information regarding new legislation. If a new law is addressed in PRESS materials, the corresponding PRESS Policy or Procedure code number will follow the public act information.

To obtain copies of Public Acts

Official copies of acts are filed with the Index Division of the office of the Secretary of State. However, all text of public acts is now available on the General Assembly Web site. The address is www.ilga.gov.

How to use this document

Act summaries are organized under subject matter categories, and categories are arranged alphabetically as shown in the Table of Contents. In addition, three indexes are provided.

These may be used to identify an act by title, bill number, or by the public act number.

If you have any questions about legislation, please contact any of the IASB Governmental Relations staff.

The site navigation utilizes arrow, enter, escape, and space bar key commands. Left and right arrows move across top level links and expand / close menus in sub levels. Up and Down arrows will open main level menus and toggle through sub tier links. Enter and space open menus and escape closes them as well. Tab will move on to the next part of the site rather than go through menu items.
