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 416

Illinois SB 416, introduced by Senator Rob Martwick and a bipartisan group of cosponsors, addresses AI use in education technology. The bill is currently stuck in the Rules Committee, meaning it has not advanced to substantive debate, but it signals Illinois lawmakers' interest in regulating AI tools used in K-12 and higher education settings.

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 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.

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 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.

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.
