(The Center Square) – A number of new health care-related laws have taken effect in Illinois, including one that mandates implicit bias awareness training for some professionals.

State Rep. Lisa Davis, D-Chicago, sponsored House Bill 2517. The measure signed by Gov. J.B. Pritzker Aug. 1, 2025 requires health care professionals who provide maternal health services to complete a one-hour training course on implicit bias as a condition of license renewal.
