Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker is signing a package of legislation to further honor and protect Illinois service members.
One of the seven new laws means families of fallen National Guard soldiers killed in active duty will be presented with the American flag while another reverses dishonorable discharges that were issued because of a service member’s sexuality.
Other new laws expedite professional license applications and require the POW/MIA flag to be flown at all state parks within five years.
