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 3494
Illinois HB 3494, introduced by Rep. Mary Beth Canty and a large group of Democratic co-sponsors, creates a new Health Data Privacy Act regulating how companies collect, use, and share consumer health data. While the bill text is sparse in the summary provided, similar state laws (like Washington's My Health My Data Act) typically restrict AI-driven health data processing, require explicit consumer consent, and ban the sale of health information without authorization.

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 4743
Illinois HB 4743, introduced by Rep. Yolonda Morris and a group of House Democrats, regulates labor practices at transportation network companies (think Uber and Lyft). While the bill focuses on driver pay and worker protections, it likely touches on algorithmic management systems that set fares, assign rides, and deactivate drivers, which would bring AI-driven gig platforms under new scrutiny in Illinois.
Last action: May 28, 2026
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 5521
Illinois House Bill 5521, the Biometric Surveillance Act, would regulate how organizations use facial recognition and other biometric identification technologies in public and private spaces. Given Illinois already has the nation's strictest biometric privacy law (BIPA), this bill likely adds new restrictions on surveillance-specific uses like real-time face scanning, retail loss prevention cameras, and workplace monitoring.

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 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.
