During a final flurry of passing bills, the Illinois Legislature passed a measure that expands the hiring pool for Illinois casinos. This news is especially significant as as several new casinos are coming to The Prairie State.
Both the state Senate and state House have passed Senate Bill 1462. The bill widens the state’s potential labor pool of hospitality industry employees to include those with felony convictions.
Some may view this as a controversial decision by legislators. However, this will increase the pool of potential hospitality industry employees.
The Illinois House of Representatives agreed to pass SB 1462 last week. It was a busy week for the state legislature ahead of the Memorial Day Weekend.
