Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker recently signed three bills into law that support trans rights. The new laws address issues such as ID gender markers and insurance coverage for hormone therapy.
One of the laws solidifies the process for trans individuals to correct their gender marker on IDs. Another law requires insurance companies to cover certain hormone therapy supplies. These laws are part of recent developments in the local area, with further details available from sources such as LGBTQ Nation.
