Illinois lawmakers are finalizing bills on tax hikes, insurance reforms, and biometric data privacy laws in the closing days of the session. Measures include changes to Illinois' biometric data privacy law, with bills amending penalties and damages under the law being passed and awaiting the governor's signature. Negotiations are ongoing to regulate technology that has been controversial in Illinois. Experts believe that despite the reforms, large settlements may still occur in cases involving companies like Facebook with Illinois customers.
