Gov. J.B. Pritzker signed a law Friday that includes a penalty for assaulting a retail worker who is conveying public health guidance, such as requiring patrons to wear face coverings or promoting social distancing.
A simple battery charge is considered a misdemeanor and can result in up to a year in prison. An aggravated battery charge, on the other hand, is a felony that can result in a sentence of up to five years in prison.
