AI Bills Sponsored
SB 315
Illinois just enacted SB 315, the Artificial Intelligence Safety Measures Act, sponsored by Senators Mary Edly-Allen and Sue Rezin. It requires the largest AI developers (companies with over $500M in revenue training massive 'frontier' models above 10^26 compute operations) to publish safety frameworks, report critical incidents within 72 hours, and undergo annual third-party audits. Penalties reach $1M per first violation and $3M for repeat violations, enforced solely by the Illinois Attorney General.

HB 5151
Illinois HB 5151 regulates how police and other entities use automatic license plate recognition (ALPR) systems, which are cameras that scan and log license plates. The bill would restrict how long ALPR data can be stored, who can access it, and what it can be used for. It's currently stuck in the Rules Committee, meaning it's not moving forward right now.

HB 4980
Illinois Rep. Abdelnasser Rashid and 20 co-sponsors introduced the Human Control of AI Act, which would require meaningful human oversight of AI systems used in consequential decisions. The bill is currently parked in the Rules Committee, meaning it has not advanced but signals where Illinois Democrats want to take AI regulation.

HB 3567
Illinois HB 3567, introduced by Rep. Murri Briel and a large coalition of House Democrats, would require that consequential decisions made with AI receive 'meaningful human review' rather than being fully automated. The bill targets situations where algorithms make or heavily influence decisions about people (think hiring, lending, housing, benefits) and mandates a real human stay in the loop.

HB 3041
Illinois Rep. Abdelnasser Rashid introduced HB 3041, a comprehensive data privacy bill that would regulate how companies collect, use, and share consumer data, including data used to train and operate AI systems. The bill has stalled in the Rules Committee, but if revived, it would create new consumer rights (access, deletion, opt-out) and impose obligations on businesses handling Illinois residents' data.

HB 3720
Illinois Rep. Abdelnasser Rashid introduced HB 3720 to require 'meaningful human review' when AI systems make consequential decisions about people. The bill targets automated decision-making in areas like employment, housing, credit, and government benefits, ensuring a real person (not just a rubber stamp) reviews AI outputs before they affect someone's life. It's currently stalled in the Rules Committee.

HB 4093
Illinois Rep. Ann Williams and 18 co-sponsors introduced the Health Data Privacy Act to regulate how companies collect, use, and share consumer health data outside of HIPAA's reach (think period-tracking apps, wellness wearables, and mental health platforms). The bill would require explicit consumer consent before processing health data and give Illinois residents new rights to access and delete their information.
Last action: Apr 19, 2024
HB 5649
Illinois Rep. Abdelnasser Rashid's HB 5649 directs the Department of Financial and Professional Regulation to regulate the use of AI in delivering mental health services.

Last action: Apr 5, 2024
HB 3385
Illinois Rep. Abdelnasser Rashid introduced HB 3385, a broad data privacy and protection bill currently stalled in the Rules Committee. While the full text details aren't available, the bill appears to establish consumer data privacy rights similar to laws in California and other states, which would directly affect how businesses collect, store, and use personal data including data fed into AI systems.
Last action: Apr 5, 2024
HB 4705
Illinois Rep. Abdelnasser Rashid introduced HB 4705, which would require state agencies using artificial intelligence to produce reports on how they deploy these systems. The bill is currently parked in the Rules Committee with no immediate compliance impact on private businesses.
Last action: Apr 5, 2024
HB 3603
Illinois Rep. Ann Williams and 24 co-sponsors introduced the PROTECT Health Data Act (HB 3603) to tighten how companies collect, share, and sell consumer health data in Illinois. While the bill description is sparse, similar 'protect health data' frameworks in other states restrict tracking of reproductive health, mental health, and biometric data, and often limit AI/algorithmic processing of that data without consent.
