SPRINGFIELD – State Senator Adriane Johnson stood alongside advocates from the Illinois Coalition Against Domestic Violence at a press conference Tuesday to outline legislation aimed at uplifting survivors, addressing emerging forms of digital abuse and expanding access to legal protections.
“The internet has opened new avenues for digital harassment, but not all of our laws and protections reflect that,” said Johnson (D-Buffalo Grove). “This legislation is about updating our laws to reflect the digital era and addressing the real, tangible needs of survivors.”

SPRINGFIELD — To highlight the importance of supporting students beyond academics, State Senator Adriane Johnson championed the effort to declare March 2026 as Illinois Whole Child Month.

SPRINGFIELD – State Senator Adriane Johnson is advancing legislation to ensure students experiencing asthma attacks can access life-saving medication wherever school activities take place.
“Students should be able to participate in sports and school activities without worrying that life-saving medication is too far away when they need it,” Johnson (D-Buffalo Grove) said. “This measure helps ensure asthma medication is available where students are most likely to experience symptoms so schools can respond quickly in an emergency.”

SPRINGFIELD – State Senator Adriane Johnson is advancing legislation that would strengthen protections for survivors of domestic violence by modernizing Illinois law to address online harassment, electronic tracking and barriers survivors face when seeking protective orders.
“Abuse doesn’t always look the same as it did decades ago,” Johnson (D-Buffalo Grove) said. “Technology has created new ways for abusers to stalk, harass and intimidate victims. Our laws must evolve to recognize these forms of harm and ensure survivors have the tools they need to stay safe.”
