New state laws taking effect Jan. 1

Minimum wage hike, pets in public housing among new changes

Pritzker touts Illinois’ economic development at data center groundbreaking

SPRINGFIELD – Minimum wage workers in Illinois will see a boost in their hourly pay to $12 per hour starting Jan. 1, while tenants in affordable housing units will be allowed to keep pets.

Those are just some of the more than 300 new laws that take effect in the new year.

The minimum wage increase is actually the result of a 2019 law that phases in a state minimum wage to $15 an hour by 2025. This year, it will increase by one dollar to $12 an hour.

Data centers are a key element in fight over electricity costs in northern Illinois

tenants to keep pets is the result of Senate Bill 154, by Sen. Linda Holmes, D-Aurora, and Rep. Stephanie Kifowit, D-Oswego. It provides that tenants of multifamily housing units that are acquired, built or renovated with money from the Illinois Affordable Housing Trust Fund may keep up to two cats or one dog weighing less than 50 pounds. It applies to residents of housing units that are designated as affordable housing for low- and very-lowincome families. The bill passed both chambers in its final form on May 30 and Gov. JB Pritzker signed it into law Aug. 6. Other new laws include:

AURORA – A Texas-based company broke ground on a new data center in Aurora on Wednesday, the latest in a boom of data storage facility developments in northern Illinois.

Gov. JB Pritzker at the groundbreaking hailed the project as another victory for his administration’s economic development strategy and noted the project will bring with it hundreds of union construction jobs.

Data centers are large facilities used for housing computers that digitally store, process and distribute information. They can either be developed for a single client – like Microsoft or Facebook’s parent company Meta – or function as “colocation” centers like the one being developed in Aurora. Those rent out space and equipment to a variety of clients.

The move plays into the Pritzker administration’s broader economic development strategy. Business incentives, like those offered to CyrusOne, featured prominently in the Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity’s five-year plan released in August.

The Data Centers Investment Program, which has provided tax incentives to CyrusOne, is one of several programs developed in recent years to attract business to Illinois.

Other programs include the Reimagining Energy and Vehicles program, which has granted around $1 billion of incentives since 2021, and programs focused on startups, quantum computing and film production.

But data centers in particular pose a unique challenge to the state due to the amount of electricity necessary to keep them running 24 hours a day.

Vehicle taxes: SB58 raises the private vehicle tax, which is a sales tax paid on the purchase of vehicles, by $75 for each model year where the purchase price is less than $15,000 and by $100 for vehicles priced above that amount. However, the registration fee for trailers weighing less than 3,000 pounds will drop to $36 instead of $118.

The development by CyrusOne – the company’s second in Aurora – is expected to be complete in two years, according to the governor’s office. It is set to receive a tax incentive package as part of the state’s “Data Centers Investment Program.”

That program provided more than $650 million of incentives to other data center projects between 2020 and 2023 – including $25 million for a different CyrusOne development in 2022.

Pritzker on Wednesday positioned Illinois’ grid as an asset to attract data center investment by saying electricity in Illinois is “readily available and reliable.”

But CMRE, the world’s largest real estate services and investment firm, noted in a June report on data center markets that procuring electricity in the Chicago region “poses a significant challenge” to data center development. Data centers – as well as other energy-intensive developments like electric vehicle battery manufacturing – often require months to years of work with utility companies to ensure that enough electricity can be delivered to new facilities.

College admissions: HB226, establishing the Higher Education Fair Admissions Act, prohibits public colleges and universities from requiring applicants to submit SAT, ACT or other standardized test scores as part of the admissions process, although prospective students may choose to submit them if they wish.

Those tax breaks, according to the Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity, have resulted in $6.5 billion in required investments, $11 billion in total investments and 469 new permanent jobs.

“We have chased down every potential dollar of private investment we could find and leveraged every incentive and grant at our disposal to attract and build up existing and new industries,” Pritzker said.

Commonwealth Edison, the electric utility for most of northern Illinois, serves every single data center that’s received state backing since 2020.

ComEd CEO Gil Quiniones was at CyrusOne’s groundbreaking ceremony and noted an “explosion of data center investment” in northern Illinois.

The utility is currently in the process of requesting approval for a revised grid plan with state regulators at the Illinois Commerce Commission which details some of the costs of building new data centers.

FOID card changes: HB562 enacts several changes to the Firearm Owner Identification card law. Among other things, it provides for a streamlined renewal process for FOID cards and Concealed Carry Licenses for people who voluntarily submit fingerprint records. It also allows the Illinois State Police to issue a combined FOID card and Concealed Carry License to qualified applicants, and it establishes a new Violent Crime Intelligence Task Force to take enforcement action against people with revoked FOID cards.

The company’s proposed plan, filed earlier this year, includes $430 million of spending to support data centers – about 24% of their total “new business investments.” Under the plan, that spending would contribute to increased costs for electricity bills in ComEd’s service territory.

In that filing, the company noted a “steep increase in proposed large load projects.” These projects often require hundreds of times more electricity than big box stores like Wal-Mart.

Officials in the Illinois attorney general’s office and by the staff of the Illinois Commerce Commission criticized ComEd’s proposed allocation of funding toward data center developments in ICC filings made public in September.

PHILANDER SMITH AND SOUTHERN UNIVERSITY

win 6th annual Moguls in the Making entrepreneurial pitch competition

DETROIT, PRNewswire -- Philander Smith University and Southern University students took top honors in the sixth annual Moguls in the Making entrepreneurial pitch competition, where 50 students from Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) developed innovative and impactful solutions to address economic mobility challenges in Detroit.

The competition, held October 2-6, was hosted by Ally Financial (NYSE: ALLY) in collaboration with the Thurgood Marshall College Fund (TMCF), the largest organization exclusively representing the Black college community. This year’s event took place in Detroit at The Icon building, home to the state’s only HBCU, and the nation’s only design-focused HBCU, Pensole Lewis College.

The Jennifer Hudson Show had something special prepared for the students early in the week. Everyone is encouraged to tune in on October 25 to see the surprise.

“These Moguls stand out among their peers – they’re hungry for new experiences, to learn about potential career paths, and to make a big impact in the community,” said Reggie Willis, chief diversity officer at Ally. “They always bring insightful ideas and perspectives to showcase in their pitches, and it’s exciting to see their growth in just a few short days.”

Fifty students – 10 teams with five students each – toured Detroit, Ally’s headquarters, to learn about the city’s rich heritage and community challenges with stops at Orchestra Hall, Motown Museum and Detroit Pizza Bar. They were then assigned industries and asked to develop a concept to support economic mobility in Detroit, creating business plans to put those ideas into action.

The MATTIE Fund Announces First Round of Grants Totaling $1.5 million

WASHINGTON, PRNewswire

-- Furthering The MATTIE Fund’s commitment to marginalized women’s justice and mental health, Dr. Alfiee Breland-Noble is thrilled to announce that she is recommending the first round of grants from the MATTIE Fund. With an initial total of $1.5 million, these grants will be allocated to 11 U.S.-based organizations dedicated to promoting the mental health, emotional well-being, and overall health of diverse and marginalized women and girls.

This first round of funding represents a pivotal moment in fulfilling the vision of The MATTIE Fund: Mindful Advocacy for Totally Transformative Inclusion and Equity. Named in honor of Dr. Alfiee’s late mother, Mattie McLeod Breland, the fund aims to support transformative initiatives that address the mental health challenges faced by women from marginalized communities, including Black, Latino/e, AAPI, Native American, and more.

“This first round of funding boldly demonstrates The MATTIE Fund’s commitment to supporting organizations making a tangible difference in the lives of women and girls across the country,” says Dr. Alfiee Breland-Noble. “With these awards, we uplift diverse communities and support those at the forefront of addressing mental health disparities, providing resources to those who have been historically overlooked.”

The five-day program included motivational messages from Michigan Lt. Governor Garlin Gilchrist II and Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan, workshops, fireside chats and mentor engagement.

On the final day, each team presented their business plan to a panel of judges who awarded prizes to the top four teams based on the pitch. Members of those top teams each received a scholarship for the 2025 school year, guaranteed offers of a paid internship at Ally for summer 2025, and other prizes to support their education.

The 2024 top four teams and their pitch concepts were:

First Place Tie: Philander Smith University and Southern University, $20,000 scholarships for each student. Philander Smith University

Their idea, Little Genius, is an AI-Powered platform for K-5 students providing personalized learning to enhance literacy, numeracy, and science. The platform uses AI to create unique learning pathways that meet the needs of all students on an individual basis. Little Genius also includes gamified interactive assessments with voice recognition and offline functionality.

The team’s Gov On the Go project addresses the lack of access to public services and job opportunities in Detroit’s underserved communities by engaging directly with residents, creating personalized pathways, and tracking success to drive economic mobility and reduce poverty. They plan to expand efforts through targeted outreach, adding resources like more vehicles and broader initiatives to maximize impact.

Third Place: Spelman College, $5,000 scholarships for each student.

All other students who competed received a $1,000 scholarship for their participation.

“The Thurgood Marshall College Fund is incredibly proud to extend our relationship with Ally for the sixth year,” said TMCF President & CEO Harry L. Williams. “Ally’s continued investment in the innovation and entrepreneurial talent at HBCUs highlights its commitment to empowering students to improve their socioeconomic standing—benefiting not only the students but also their communities and society as a whole.”

Since the program’s inception in 2019, more than 300 students have participated. Ally has employed 46 of the former Moguls as interns and hired 15 as fulltime employees across a variety of functions, including technology, marketing, product design and corporate services. To date, Ally has awarded more than $1 million in scholarships and prizes through Moguls in the Making.

The fund’s inaugural grants will focus on organizations deeply embedded in their communities, whose work centers on providing culturally relevant mental health care and emotional support for women and girls. Dr. Alfiee has been intentional about ensuring that the organizations receiving support embody the values of compassion, resilience, and a commitment to fostering inclusive and equitable systems.

Mindful Advocacy for Totally Transformative Inclusion and Equity is a donor-advised fund sponsored and administered by National Philanthropic Trust that was launched in 2024 following a $20 million contribution by Pivotal Philanthropies. Dr. Alfiee was selected by Pivotal Philanthropies to be the fund’s advisor, and it is her intent to utilize the fund to promote the mental health and well-being of girls and women from diverse communities and drive systemic change in the areas of inclusion and equity.

DSU first HBCU to launch private merchandise label

(Black PR Wire) DSU’s private label will provide an expanded opportunity to control the design, quality, and variety of products that students, faculty, staff, alumni, and the community wear and purchase. The brand inventory will include various types of limited-edition merchandise that will only be available directly from the University, and 5 percent of the sales will support student success by funding scholarships.

Everything Collegiate, owned and operated by Terance Harmon for over 20 years, holds more than 85 brand licenses for colleges, societies, and fraternities. As a primary vendor to over 60 colleges, including 39 HBCUs, it provides thousands of custom collegiate products including apparel, shoes, and giveaway items.

“This partnership marks a significant milestone in our journey,” said Harmon. “Our goal has always been to support and uplift HBCUs, and working with DSU has been a fulfilling step in that direction. I am excited to work with DSU on this historic move.”

DSU initially partnered with Everything Collegiate on a launch of merchandise last year at the time of the University’s branding update.

“Thanks to our team, the designs were met with an overwhelmingly positive response,” said Dr. Dawn Mosley, Senior Associate Vice President of Marketing and Communications. “Our students, faculty, staff,

and alumni were thrilled with the new products and kept asking for more. The key difference was that we had control over the design process, working closely to ensure it resonated with our brand and audience. It made perfect sense, as we best know what our audience wants.”

The partnership will begin with a select choice of merchandise for which Everything Collegiate will manage the distribution while continuing to assist DSU in growing its private brand inventory in additional retail spaces and online. This will allow the University’s products to reach a wider audience

while maintaining high standards of quality and authenticity.

“We’re no longer restricted to buying premade or mass-produced products that follow a standard design with our logo incorporated within,” Dr. Mosley said. “That’s not true ownership. We must protect what has taken over a century to build.”

However, existing relationships with retailers will continue to be a valuable resource for students and the campus community to purchase everyday branded items.

“We are not competing with our campus stores or partners who sell merchandise with our brand. We value their contributions and the royalties they generate,” Dr. Mosley said. “It’s simply smart business to establish our own revenue stream from custom products. This also creates an exciting opportunity for our students and alumni to share their unique design ideas, which can further support scholarships for our students.”

The first round of student scholarships from initial product sales will be awarded in spring 2025. Moving forward, new-arrival merchandise will now feature the Hornets (tm) private-label branding. For early sales, click here or visit https://hbcudsu. com.

Berite Labelle spotted at the Ritz Paris

Surrounded by the biggest French influencers for the pre-launch of her perfume brand, Blone

PARIS, PRNewswire

-- International model and actress Berite Labelle made a quick stop in the capital for the pre-launch of her new brand Blone Haute Parfumerie.

On this occasion, an exceptional dinner was organized in a private room at the Ritz, transformed by a spectacular floral decoration, paying homage to the natural raw materials used in the creation of her fragrances.

Berite Labelle

With an eye for detail, Berite also had the bar manager of the Ritz, Romain de Courcy, create a cocktail with floral notes.

Fostering a spirit of friendliness, elegance, and celebration, the evening, animated by the duo Doppelgänger, allowed guests to engage with Berite Labelle about her new haute perfumery brand, as well as her activities as a model and international influencer.

Among the 25 guests, Raphael Say, Dani Maya, Antoine Goretti, Sonia Gleis, Emmanuel Foures, Barabara Thome Pires, Karl Bradle of Aedes de Venustas, and Ricardo P Lloyd were seen, who came especially for the occasion to learn more about this still-secret project, which will be revealed to the

public in Los Angeles in the coming months.

A multi-faceted and hyperactive woman, Berite Labelle was chosen in 2024 by Balmain to embody the new global campaign for the French house, marking the 50th anniversary of the haircare line. She has recently graced the covers of magazines as the new face for the Balmain Hair Couture line, as well as for the Akris brand for which she walked the runway during the Cannes Film Festival.

Currently based in the United States, she is above all a woman of the world: Berite was born in Tiraspol, Moldova. At the age of four, she moved to Bosnia, then Germany before landing in Geneva, Switzerland, at the age of six. A lover of languages from an early age, she is fluent in Russian, French, and English, and has practical knowledge of Spanish, Italian, and Arabic.

Gov. Pritzker Announces First Electric Vehicle Chargers Installed at Illinois State Parks

EAST ST LOUIS -- Governor Pritzker joined the Illinois Department of Natural Resources and local leadership to announce a donation of multiple electronic vehicle chargers to the state from the electric mobility company EVBox. Visitors to Illinois state parks will be able to conveniently charge their electric vehicles while camping overnight or stopping for an afternoon hike thanks to the company’s 40 Level 2 electric vehicle (EV) chargers, which will be placed at Illinois state parks, historic sites, museums, beaches, and other widely used public areas.

“I am proud to announce that the Illinois Department of Natural Resources has installed the first set of electric vehicle charging stations at four Illinois state parks with the help of our partners at EVBox,” said Governor JB Pritzker. “This is a milestone that brings us closer to reaching our ambitious goals of encouraging a reduction in fossil fuel emissions, advancing further electric vehicle adoption by making charging more convenient, and making it easier for people to explore all that our incredible state parks have to offer.”

Three of the chargers have been installed in state parks that are within 60 miles driving distance of St. Louis: Frank Holten State Park in East St. Louis, Eldon Hazlet State Recreation Area near Carlyle, and Washington County State Recreation Area near Nashville. A fourth charger was installed at Jim Edgar Panther Creek State Fish and Wildlife Area in Cass County in central Illinois.

“We know the future is electric and we’re committed to making sustainable transportation more accessible, not just for Illinois residents, but visitors too,” said Lt. Governor Juliana Stratton. “By bringing EV chargers to these sites, we are supporting our clean energy goals so more and more people can enjoy Illinois!”

These are the first EV chargers made available for public use by the State of Illinois. The state will not charge a fee for drivers to use the chargers.

Additional EVBox chargers will be installed at IDNR sites around Illinois, including Starved Rock State Park in LaSalle County, Giant City State Park in Jackson County, Shabbona Lake State Recreation Area in Dekalb County, William Powers State Recreation Area in Cook County,

and more.

To help advance electric mobility in their home state, EVBox, based in Libertyville, teamed up with the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity (DCEO) and the Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR). Together, they worked on a plan designed to significantly boost the availability of charging stations statewide.

“It’s an honor to be part of the effort to electrify Illinois’ beautiful state parks and support Governor Pritzker’s ambitious vision for a greener, more sustainable future. On behalf of EVBox, we’re thrilled to mark the first of several donations of EV chargers to be installed across the state parks” said Dan Fedor, EVBox’s North American Senior Business Development Manager. “Together, we’re making EV charging more accessible and helping to preserve the environment for generations to come.”

Illinois joins other states, including Michigan, Minnesota, and Tennessee in offering EV chargers at state parks. The addition of chargers in parks reinforces goals set forth in IDNR’s climate action plan, a roadmap for zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. In addition, IDNR Director Natalie Phelps Finnie said the department is proud to offer this convenience to EV drivers while also encouraging them to visit scenic parks and historic sites around Illinois.

“We’re incredibly grateful to EVBox for this generous donation of EV chargers to Illinois state parks and for its commitment to building out the state’s charging network, particularly in more rural and underserved areas of the state. This is a wonderful partnership,” said Director Finnie. “We invite tourists and visitors to charge up their cars while they recharge their mental health at an Illinois state park.”

“Illinois’ new EV charging stations are an important contribution to the State’s efforts to create a greener future,” said DCEO Director Kristin Richards. “DCEO is committed to building a greener and more eco-friendly environment for our visitors, while also expanding opportunities in the EV industry for our world-class workforce.”

Learn How Reverse Mortgages Can Affect Estate Planning

Reverse mortgages are one of the most misunderstood financial tools directed to the elderly. It is my intent to help dissuade the negative opinion that people hold towards reverse mortgages. Too often disdain is based on myths and hearsay, not fact.

Bren Sheriff

Here is a fact, a reverse mortgage is a financial tool, but it is not the right tool for every financial situation. When considering a reverse mortgage

There should be a planned outcome.

Here are some outcomes of getting a reverse mortgage:

-to lower monthly expenses.

-receiving tax free income from home equity.

-it allows a person to age at home

The myths that prevail are as follow:

-the ownership of homes is immediately transferred to the government

-a reverse mortgage NEVER has to be re-paid.

Elders, prior to receiving a reverse mortgage, must attend a training class. The training is to explain how a reverse mortgage works. However, it has been my experience that, even with the training, too often elders do not fully understand the terms of their reverse mortgage and how it affects their families.

In future columns, I will share scenarios of elders with reverse mortgages and what impact this may have on their estate plans.

Bye for now,

Bren.
