Barriers Save Lives on Illinois Highways
Illinois DOT and Tollway barriers have saved many motorists. About 970 sand filled barrels at 125 locations and 1,000 new barriers on federal highways plus 1,200 on tollways reduce crash energy. A Chicago wedge vinyl barrier costs more but lowers ongoing costs. The tollway reports 20 to 30 lives saved with 57 barrier incidents.

Illinois approves first laws prohibiting gender discrimination in life and health insurance
Illinois will ban discrimination by health and life insurers as of March 1. Department director Robert B. Wilcox says a survey found 95 percent of companies discriminated against women and one third offered policies only to men. The rule bars denying or canceling policies for non related living arrangements and requires pregnancy complications to be treated like other illnesses. It also ends unequal dependent coverage and medical examination requirements based on sex.
