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 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.
