Illinois' first-in-nation climate migration law stalls

Original: Illinois passed the nation’s first climate migration law. The effort has languished since

Illinois passed the nation's first law aimed at planning for climate migration, intended to prepare the state for people relocating because of climate change. Chicago outlets WBEZ and the Chicago Sun-Times report that the effort has since languished, with implementation failing to materialize despite the law's precedent-setting status.

Why now: Local outlets are highlighting the gap between the law's groundbreaking passage and its lack of follow-through.
