Illinois · Enforcement paused for named businesses only · ILHAA v. Raoul, N.D. Ill. No. 1:26-cv-13799
Applies only to the six plaintiffs in ILHAA v. Raoul (N.D. Ill. No. 1:26-cv-13799), among them the Illinois Healthy Alternatives Association and its roughly 250 member companies.

The law itself still takes effect Nov 12, and it applies to every other business from that date.

This Illinois date does not move with the federal Dec 11 delay.
