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.

HB 4705
Illinois House Bill 4705, introduced by Rep. Dan Didech and a group of Democratic co-sponsors, is an 'Artificial Intelligence Safety' bill currently in its earliest stage with limited public detail available. Based on the title and Illinois's recent AI legislative trends, it appears aimed at establishing safety standards for AI systems deployed in the state, though specific provisions have not yet been published.

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 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.
