​AG Raoul applauded the Illinois Senate’s passage of his legislation to support his office’s efforts to combat workplace rights violations. House Bill 4725, sponsored by Sen. Omar Aquino and Rep. Jay Hoffman, was approved with bipartisan support and will now go to the governor for approval.

“The Workplace Rights Bureau in the Attorney General’s office has recovered millions of dollars on behalf of Illinois workers. This measure will enhance our ability to investigate and prosecute potential violations of the laws that protect working people around Illinois. I appreciate Senator Aquino’s sponsorship of this legislation and his efforts to protect the rights of workers in Illinois.” – AG Raoul
