Illinois business owners could face fine, jail time for reopening in defiance of coronavirus restrictions
By Justin Wise - 05/18/20 08:52 AM EDT

Business owners in Illinois could now face a Class A misdemeanor charge for opening their establishments in defiance of the state's stay-at-home order.

Gov. J.B. Pritzker (D) on Friday filed an emergency rule that would penalize owners of restaurants, bars, gyms, barbershops and other businesses for reopening before coronavirus restrictions are lifted, according to The New York Times.

In Illinois, a Class A misdemeanor charge can carry a fine of up to $2,500 and a maximum jail sentence of one year.

The emergency rule is an “additional enforcement tool for businesses that refuse to comply with the most critical aspects of the stay-at-home order," Jordan Abudayyeh, a spokeswoman for the governor, told the Times.

Careful with that @PeteS in CA ... They're just flexing their clamp muscle... And this same thing has subjugated whole continents... Without all the present technology in their favor.

This wickedness is supremely dangerous. Eventually they will figure it out.
