Illinois’s governor JB Pritzker wrapped up June by signing two bills that affirm the rights of LGBTQ+ people in Illinois.

One of the new laws, HB5507, removes barriers to changing legal gender on birth certificates for Illinois residents born in other states. The other, SB2930, requires nonprofits publicly report demographic data about their boards of directors. The new mandate is to push nonprofits to reflect the diversity of the communities they support.
