Laws banning semi-automatic weapons and library censorship will take effect in Illinois
apnews.com
With the calendar-page turn to 2024 on Monday comes 320 new state laws that Illinois residents will need to navigate.
Some will have a widespread effect, including a law banning semi-automatic rifles and another requiring paid time off. But others won’t have an immediate or noticeable impact, including a law that lets county governments consider a potential contractor’s participation in an approved apprenticeship program in determining the winning low bid for a project.
One law that took effect in 2019 but is still impacting tens of thousands of workers is an increase in the minimum wage. It increases to $14 an hour on Jan. 1 for non-tipped workers and will reach $15 in a year.

OK so it's a law banning semi automatic weapons, and also a ban on the censorship of books (more or less), NOT a law banning semi automatic weapons and a law censoring books in libraries. That was a rollercoaster from reading the unfortunate title and then the article clarifying.
Title was pretty clear to me...
Banning weapons and library censorship
Vs
Banning weapons and censoring libraries
Thanks. I thought it was a compromise between those who read and those who want a semi auto. It kinda made sense?
