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.
Last action: Jul 6, 2026
SB 343
Illinois SB 343, sponsored by Senator Napoleon Harris and colleagues, has passed both chambers and is heading to the Governor's desk. The bill amends Illinois civil law provisions related to technology, though the specific AI regulatory scope is not detailed in the available text. Business leaders in Illinois should track this closely given its advanced status.

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 3312
Illinois SB 3312, the AI Safety Measures Act, would establish state-level safety requirements for AI systems developed or deployed in Illinois. The bill is currently stalled in committee after being re-referred to Assignments, meaning it has not advanced and faces procedural hurdles before any vote.
Last action: May 22, 2026
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).
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.

SB 3590
Illinois SB 3590, the AI Product Liability Act, would make AI developers and deployers legally liable when their AI systems cause harm to users or third parties. The bill creates a new cause of action under Illinois law, meaning companies could be sued directly for damages caused by their AI products. It's currently stalled in committee (re-referred to Assignments).
Last action: May 22, 2026
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 3735
Illinois SB 3735, introduced by Senator Rob Martwick and colleagues, would regulate how schools and education technology vendors collect and use student biometric information (think fingerprints, facial scans, voice prints) and related AI tools. It establishes student data rights around biometric collection in K-12 and potentially higher education settings. The bill is currently stalled in committee after being re-referred to Assignments.
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.
Last action: May 22, 2026
SB 3571
Illinois Senator Mike Simmons and colleagues want to update the state's WARN Act to require employers to disclose when AI or automation is the reason for mass layoffs. Companies conducting large-scale job cuts driven by AI would face new notification requirements beyond the existing 60-day advance notice rule.

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.
