Cell phone ban, sex offenders, speed limit changes lead list of new laws

This is one of those "Make me (Lawmaker) look good laws. There isn't a single statistic to show any crimes committed by registered sex offenders in a playground (McDonalds' type) area.
12-29-2013 Illinois:

With every new year it seems like lawmakers figure out one more place to limit where sex offenders aren’t welcome.

This year’s target: The playground at your favorite fast food joint.

Beginning Jan. 1, sex offenders would no longer be allowed to loiter in the playground area of private businesses, such as the Playland at your local McDonald’s.

The measure doesn’t ban sex offenders from McDonald’s entirely, but could leave them open to police scrutiny if they do more than order their food and eat it.

The legislation is House Bill 3023. ..Source.. by Kurt Erickson
