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 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.

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.
