Faith's Law Resources
Faith’s Law was passed by the 102nd General Assembly as two separate pieces of legislation. The first piece of legislation, Public Act 102-0676, took effect on Dec. 3, 2021. The second piece, PA 102-0702, will take effect on July 1, 2023. Both public acts created new requirements that take effect at different dates.
