The Illinois House is moving forward with a wide range of legislation, including a proposal to ban cellphone use in public school classrooms. Lawmakers say the measure would require districts to adopt policies by the 2027 school year, citing concerns about distractions and student well-being. Other bills gaining traction include expanded bereavement leave, a potential option for human composting, and new rules for nonprofit investment funds. Several of the measures now head to the Senate for further consideration.
