2023 was certainly a monumental year for Illinois employers, with increased legislative activity in Springfield and significant developments in both Cook County and the City of Chicago..
The Joint Commission on Administrative Rules on Tuesday voted to suspend the Illinois Department of Public Health's rules on masking in schools. With the suspension of the IDPH's rules, District 205 will be moving to Mask-Recommended beginning Wednesday, February 16, instead of Mask-Required. The district says that masks will still be required on buses, as that is a Federal rule, but masks will no longer be required within school buildings.
