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.

HR 635

Illinois House Resolution 635, introduced by Rep. Carol Ammons with co-sponsors Lilian Jiménez and Maurice West, expresses state support for a 4-day work week. As a resolution, it's a symbolic statement of legislative intent rather than a binding law, and it has no direct connection to AI regulation.

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.
