Bill would ban sex offenders from carnival ride work
Springfield AP Lisa Farmer seeks Illinois state issued ID cards for carnival ride operators to require state police background checks and bar convicted sex offenders. Sponsor Sen Larry Bomke says the measure aims to prevent future harm though opposition cites potential discrimination and resource strain. Illinois State Fair already requires some background reviews since 1999, with heightened security after the rape.

Privacy fight over abortion records at Chicago hospital
Attorneys argued before the 7th Circuit that deleting identifiers does not protect patient privacy as the government seeks subpoenas for abortion records. Northwestern Memorial and other university facilities face subpoenas tied to challenges to the federal Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act. Judges in other states have ordered releases. Illinois blocks Northwestern records citing privacy and potential disclosure of prior medical history.
