🏛️ Government
Thirteen state driver license locations in suburban Chicago will offer walk-in Saturday service starting Aug.
9 to ease weekday congestion and help residents finish end-of-summer tasks, according to the Secretary of State. The temporary expansion will run until Sept. 6 and will allow residents to complete services such as renewing a driver’s license — getting a REAL ID — and registering a vehicle without an appointment.
Illinois Attorney General Kwame Raoul announced Operation Robocall Roundup— a multi-state effort to crack down on intrusive and illegal robocalls that has involved over 50 attorneys general and sent warning letters to 37 voice providers and 99 downstream companies.
The operation follows the FCC's removal of 185 noncompliant voice service providers from its Robocall Mitigation Database to help safeguard consumers.
