January 1 is the effective date for almost 200 new state laws passed by the General Assembly and signed by the governor in 2016. The Senate Democrats have published their top ten list for 2017.

Laws make the list based on their importance to the public and how broadly they affect key issues such as safety, ethics, workers' wages and benefits, and criminal justice reform, the Senate Democrats said.
Some new traffic law highlights for 2017
New traffic law highlights for 2017
2017 brings in a new law that expands an existing one. In 2016, drivers were required to change lanes or slow down for a stationary emergency vehicle. But in 2017, that law applies to all stranded vehicles with hazards on.
"We've had a lot of our own troopers that have been seriously injured or killed in line of duty as a result of people failing to move over. We also number of disabled vehicles and drivers killed every year for the same reason," said Master Sgt. Jason Bradley, Illinois State Police.
Also on the books for next year are stiffer penalties for people caught driving without insurance. A new 2017 law allows officers to impound and possibly seize a vehicle if a driver has been convicted of driving without insurance and is caught again within a 12-month period. Previously, the car was only towed.

In addition, Illinois State Police remind motorists about a law new to 2017 that increases penalties for speeding in construction and school zones.
"If you are speeding 26-34 miles an hour over in construction zones, that is a Class B misdemeanor, or 35 miles in a construction or school zone - both are jail-able offenses," Bradley said.
Fines will double for failing to stop at a railroad crossing - $500 for a first violation, $1,000 for a second. 2017 will also cost you more to park in Chicago - over 750 new parking meters will be installed throughout the city.
New laws affecting women in 2017
New laws affecting women in 2017
A first-of-its-kind law in Illinois will mandate training for cosmetologists when they renew their licenses.
"This training will help them recognize signs of domestic violence, but most importantly give them the tools they need to put victims in touch with services," said State Sen. Bill Cunningham, (D) Beverly.
Cunningham says domestic violence advocacy groups will provide the training free of charge.
"I think one thing we recognize in the Senate is there is this sort of unintentional discriminatory affect to a lot of laws that work against women. Sometimes it comes up in the way we impose sales tax," Cunningham said.
For example, feminine hygiene products were being taxed at the same rate as "luxury" products. A new law repealing the "tampon tax" changes that, so feminine products will now be taxed at the same rate as necessity products like shampoo.
In addition, a new 2017 law requires all insurance companies to provide birth control coverage for up to 12 months at a time.
A new law also requires employers to allow workers to take up to half of their sick time to care for sick family members.
