Precedent in different states doesn’t bind the rulings of other states. A federal district court could establish precedent for all of the district. National precedent would come from the SCOTUS.
Other court rulings maybe raised as a persuasive reason though.
I thought this was already decided by another court. Does precedent mean nothing?

Depends on the state, and the WaPo article is paywalled, so I don’t know if that applies to Illinois yet. It should apply everywhere.
