Copy of the 2017 Sabre breach notification
The attorneys general of 27 states have entered into a $2.4 million settlement with Sabre Corp. to resolve a lawsuit tied to 2017 data breach that struck the company s Sabre Hospitality Solutions hotel booking system, compromising 1.3 million payment cards.
The $2.4 million will be split among the 27 states involved in the suit. Additionally, the company is required to implement and maintain a comprehensive security program, a written incident response and data breach notification plan, specific security requirements, third-party security assessments and other measures, including sending a list of notified customers to the 27 attorneys general involved in the lawsuit.

When a new year begins in Illinois, there typically are dozens if not hundreds of new laws going into effect.
Not this year. Like so many other things in 2020, the legislative spring session was stunted by COVID-19. Once the global pandemic reached Illinois in March, the General Assembly would meet for only four more days wrapping up the odd session during masked and socially distanced gatherings at the Capitol and Bank of Springfield Center. The fall veto session was scrapped altogether.

As a result, only three new laws will take effect on Jan. 1. Here’s a look at them, as well as the next increase in the minimum wage that will be applied Friday:
