AI Bills Sponsored
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.

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.

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.

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 3567
Illinois HB 3567, introduced by Rep. Murri Briel and a large coalition of House Democrats, would require that consequential decisions made with AI receive 'meaningful human review' rather than being fully automated. The bill targets situations where algorithms make or heavily influence decisions about people (think hiring, lending, housing, benefits) and mandates a real human stay in the loop.
Last action: Mar 27, 2026
HB 5106
Illinois Rep. Maurice West introduced HB 5106 to add deepfake-based harassment to the state's criminal harassment statutes. The bill targets people who create or share AI-generated fake images, audio, or video to harass or intimidate others, making it a prosecutable offense.
