It could soon be illegal in Illinois for a teacher to have a sexual relationship with an adult student.

The bill, HB4241 , passed unanimously in the Illinois House that criminalizes relationships with students 18-23, if the educator is at least four years older than the student.

Charges would range from a misdemeanor to felony, depending on the number of students and the nature of the conduct.
