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.

SB 3114
Illinois SB 3114, introduced by Sen. Dave Koehler with broad bipartisan support, would require health insurers to disclose when they use AI or algorithms to 'downcode' medical claims (paying providers less than what was billed by reassigning codes). Insurers would have to explain the downcoding decision, identify whether AI was involved, and give providers a way to appeal.
Last action: May 27, 2026
SB 2909
Illinois SB 2909, led by Senator Christopher Belt, would prohibit school districts from using artificial intelligence as the sole basis for evaluating teacher performance. AI can still assist in evaluations, but a qualified human evaluator must make the final call. The bill has passed both chambers and is headed to the governor.

SB 3816
Illinois SB 3816, introduced by Senators Celina Villanueva and Graciela Guzmán, regulates how automated license plate recognition (ALPR) systems can be used in the state. The bill restricts data sharing and retention by law enforcement and private operators of camera networks that scan and store license plate data.
Last action: May 22, 2026
SB 3502
Illinois SB 3502 would make AI developers and deployers legally liable when their products cause harm, treating AI systems similarly to defective physical products. Companies could be sued for damages caused by their AI, with liability potentially extending across the development and deployment chain.
Last action: May 22, 2026
SB 3702
Illinois Senator Graciela Guzmán's bill would prohibit hospitals and healthcare employers from using AI to replace registered nurses' clinical judgment or to make final patient care decisions without RN oversight. It targets AI tools that recommend diagnoses, staffing levels, or treatment plans in nursing workflows. The bill sits in committee and has been re-referred to Assignments, meaning it has not yet advanced.

SB 3261
Illinois Senator Mary Edly-Allen and 11 co-sponsors introduced SB 3261, the Artificial Intelligence Safety Act, which aims to create safety guardrails around AI systems developed or deployed in Illinois. The bill is currently stalled in committee (re-referred to Assignments), so the specific provisions have not yet advanced to active debate.
Last action: May 22, 2026
SB 3263
Illinois SB 3263, introduced by Senator Mary Edly-Allen and seven co-sponsors, would require AI-generated content to carry embedded provenance data so people can tell what was made or modified by AI. The bill is currently parked in committee (re-referred to Assignments), meaning it has not advanced yet but signals Illinois lawmakers want mandatory AI content labeling.

SB 3262
Illinois SB 3262, the Companion AI Protection Act, would regulate AI chatbots designed to simulate emotional or social relationships with users (think Replika, Character.AI, and similar companion apps). The bill likely imposes safeguards around minors, mental health interactions, and disclosure that users are talking to AI rather than a human. It is currently stalled in committee under Rule 3-9(a).

SB 2022
Illinois Senate Bill 2022, the Safe Patient Limits Act, sets mandatory nurse-to-patient staffing ratios in hospitals across the state. Introduced by Sen. Celina Villanueva with co-sponsors including Sen. Mattie Hunter, it focuses on hospital staffing rules rather than AI regulation, though it could indirectly affect how hospitals use AI-driven staffing and scheduling tools.
