TL;DR

Illinois will end its statewide 1% grocery tax on January 1, but many local municipalities will continue to levy their own taxes. Several new laws will take effect in 2025, including measures to protect aquifers from carbon sequestration, ban single-use toiletries in hotels, improve firefighter safety, and enhance public safety and environmental conservation efforts.
