SPRINGFIELD, Ill. – A proposal from state Rep. Jay Hoffman, D-Swansea, and Illinois Attorney General Kwame Raoul to strengthen the Workplace Rights Bureau, close loopholes and hold bad actors accountable has been signed into law.

“We’re turning feedback from the Attorney General’s team into action, delivering workers a more effective bureau to stand up for them,” Hoffman said. “Whether it’s making workplaces safer, or ensuring workers receive the money they are owed, these are needed updates that put hardworking Illinoisans first.”

The Attorney General’s Workplace Rights Bureau protects and advances employment rights for workers across the state, investigating and litigating cases involving serious or persistent violations of workplace safety, wage theft and other unfair employment practices.

Hoffman’s House Bill 4725, which received bipartisan support, strengthens investigative tools, clarifies the bureau’s jurisdiction, streamlines subpoena procedures and institutes needed penalties to stop those who destroy evidence or refuse to comply with the law.

Additional information about the Workplace Rights Bureau, including an annual Labor Day Report, can be viewed at https://www.illinoisattorneygeneral.gov/rights-of-the-people/workplace-rights/.

House Bill 4725 takes full effect on Jan. 1, 2027.
