• Illinois Religious Freedom Protection and Civil Union Act of 2010. Beginning in June 2011, gay and straight Illinois couples will be eligible to enter into state-sanctioned Civil Unions. These unions will ensure that all Illinois citizens receive the rights, privileges and incidents attendant to marriage on the state level. Federal laws and regulations still do not recognize same-sex unions and are unaltered by Illinois' new law. The time to start planning your union is now. Some couples will need to dissolve prior arrangements from other states, etc., in order to be recognized as a civil union in Illinois. Others just need to plan ahead for a smooth transition to this very important day that has been a long time in coming. Call today for a FREE CONSULTATION.
