Illinois Supreme Court Upholds Ban on Semi-Auto Weapons
The Illinois Supreme Court upheld the Protect Our Communities Act in a 4-3 decision, ruling the ban on sale or possession of semiautomatic weapons constitutional under equal protection. It allowed grandfathered owners to keep guns with registration, while dissents argued the law created unlawful special legislation and questioned legislative processes.

Insurers weigh Legembi coverage amid safety and cost concerns
Major insurers including Highmark Blue Cross Blue Shield plans and Blue Cross Blue Shield of North Carolina are reviewing Legembi coverage amid concerns over brain bleeding and side effects. Independence Blue Cross cites evidence from studies and FDA materials showing no clear safety or effectiveness conclusion. Kaiser Permanente Elevance say they will cover commercially, while United Healthcare declined comment. Medicare covers Legembi, with private plans often requiring pre-approval. Analysts note low coverage rates in uncertain evidence, with Tufts and Georgetown researchers highlighting limited favorable decisions. Bonnie Bortz, seeking coverage for her 38-year-old daughter Jaime with early onset Alzheimer's, hopes Medicare assistance arrives soon.
