Governor JB Pritzker has signed SB328 into law, a measure that allows personal injury lawyers to file lawsuits against any business operating in Illinois for exposing individuals to toxic substances, regardless of whether the company or plaintiffs are located outside the state.
Illinois House Minority Leader Tony McCombie responded to the new law with criticism. “At a time when Illinois should be focused on growth and opportunity, Democrats have once again chosen to reward trial lawyers at the expense of job creators. Our state already ranks at the top in all the wrong categories, and with Governor Pritzker signing SB 328, he’s turning up the heat on an already hostile business climate,” McCombie said.
McCombie, a Republican, was elected in 2023 to represent Illinois’ 89th House District after succeeding Andrew Chesney.
