SPRINGFIELD — Illinois has enacted a law banning schools from issuing tickets, fines or citations to students for disciplinary violations on school grounds, a practice critics said disproportionately harmed students of color and low-income families. The law also requires districts with school resource officers to establish formal agreements with law enforcement by 2026, mandates annual reporting on student referrals starting in the 2027-28 school year, and directs the state to publish statewide referral data beginning in 2029.
