JB Pritzker’s new social media rules go into effect in just 4 months.
In just 4 months, Illinois’ new social media tax is scheduled to take effect.
Starting January 1, 2027, users could face a new 50-cent-per-month tax on social media services.
The tax is projected to bring in approximately $31 million during its first year.
The provision was included in the $56 billion Illinois budget passed by Democrats this spring and later signed by Gov. JB Pritzker.
Not a single Republican voted for the budget.
Locally, embattled Democrat Amy Murri Briel voted for the budget containing the provision.
Legal challenges have already been filed, meaning the tax could still be blocked before January.
Critics warn the new cost could also push social media companies toward paid subscriptions and away from free, ad-supported platforms.

may the PARTY please step forward, and be seen, for what it really is! Maybe some folks will be able to remove their blinders.
For the Record
“Senate Democrat nominee James Talarico appears ready to bring a touch of Trotsky to Texas. In a video from a climate forum, Talarico is shown declaring capitalism an ‘oppressive system’ linked with white supremacy and that it must be ‘dismantled’ to achieve a better world. ... If you want to dismantle the constitutional or economic systems of the United States, a few white lies hardly seem of much consequence. After all, as Trotsky explained, ‘The end may justify the means as long as there is something that justifies the end.’ For these radicals, there is no greater justification than their own election.” —Jonathan Turley
