New Year, New Laws: Caylee's Law, Crackdown on Parents of Underage Drinkers Take Effect in 2013

From social media privacy in the workplace to a ban on shark fins (no, really) and stricter rules for firearms card applicants, more than 150 new laws will take effect in Illinois on New Year’s Day.

As we ring in the New Year here in Illinois, more than 150 new laws will hit the books, including legislation aimed at increasing employee privacy, a new law that cracks down on parents of underage drinkers and more. Here’s a roundup of just some of 2013’s new rules and regulations. Patch Editor Shannon Antinori contributed to this report. Connect to Patch: Oak Lawn / Evergreen Park / Beverly-Mt. Greenwood
