The official tracker shows status; it does not show shape. This reference maps every enacted AI statute and tracked bill in Illinois — explained in plain English, grouped into regulatory vectors, and traced to a primary source you can check yourself.
Illinois moved earlier and further than almost any state on AI. Spring session adjourned sine die on June 1, 2026, sending five AI bills to Gov. Pritzker. Three have now been signed — SB 318 (June 25), SB 315 (July 6), and SB 3114 (July 10); SB 316 and SB 317 remain within the constitutional 60-day action window. The remaining proposals stay technically alive in the 104th General Assembly, which runs through January 2027, and could move in the fall veto session.

Companion / character AI chatbots would have to detect when a user expresses suicidal thoughts or self-harm, act to prevent harm, and point the person to a crisis service like the 988 hotline. Passed both chambers; awaiting the Governor's signature.
If a business uses an AI chatbot to deal with you in commerce, it has to tell you up front that you're talking to an automated system — not a person. Passed both chambers; awaiting the Governor's signature.
Companies couldn't use surveillance data to set personalized prices for shoppers or to drive different wage offers to workers. Both AG enforcement and a private right of action.
Frontier AI developers and big chatbot platforms would have to publish public-safety and child-protection plans, with whistleblower protections and AG enforcement.
Public employers couldn't use automated decision systems to make consequential decisions about employees without continuing, meaningful human review. Includes impact assessments and a private right of action.
The bills cluster into six themes. Each vector is a hypothesis about how Illinois is regulating AI; the detail pages let you trace the evidence.
