News Release – Monday, July 31, 2023

CHICAGO — Governor Pritzker today signed five bills expanding protections for veterans, active-duty soldiers, and military dependents.

"The men and women of this state and this country who heed the call to serve deserve every possible support and protection during and after their time in the military," said Governor JB Pritzker. "These bills weave together a more comprehensive safety net to protect and uplift veterans and service members dealing with the complexities of life in the military, including the many ways in which service can impact someone's family and loved ones. To the service members recognized by our newly designed Honor and Remember flag, we thank you for your ultimate sacrifice and mourn with your families and the rest of the state."
