Calling all Illinois freelancers! Our state is on the verge of passing the Freelance Workers Protection Act, which has provisions that ensure freelancers get paid on time and recourse if we aren't. The legislation has passed both the IL House and Senate and is pending the governor's signature (which is expected).
Rep. Will Guzzardi, who sponsored the bill, is hosting a celebration of the bill's passage on Thursday, June 15 at 6:00 pm at Middle Brow in Logan Square, located at 2840 W Armitage Ave, Chicago. (I plan to be there!)
Details in the attached flyer and RSVP if you plan to attend.
I won't be able to attend in person but I love this. If you could share more about this once it goes into effect I would absolutely love that! Thank you!
If Pritzker signs, I believe it would go into effect on July 1, 2024. (That's what I've been told)
Ooh I will definitely go to this!! Thanks for the heads up!
