Case Summary

(This summary is temporary, while we research the case.) On July 27, 2023, Governor Pritzker signed into law a bill that allows Illinoisans to sue so-called crisis pregnancy centers under under the state’s Consumer Fraud and Deceptive Business Practices Act. On the same day, several pro-life organizations sued the attorney general of Illinois, alleging that the new law constituted a violation of the First Amendment of the United States. On August 3, 2023, the trial judge issued a preliminary injunction halting the law from going into effect.

MINUTE entry before the Honorable Iain D. Johnston: Consistent with this Court's practice of providing questions in advance of evidentiary or contested hearings when possible, attached is an admittedly incomplete list of questions that the Court will raise at the preliminary injunction hearing. Some questions are factual; some questions are legal; and some are a mix of fact and law. To the extent the questions are factual, the Court would find it very helpful if a witness were available who could answer these questions under oath. Again, this is just a preliminary list. The Court will have more, but the Court thought it would be helpful to provide at least the current list in advance of tomorrow's hearing.
