Speaker Welch's technical amendment to the AI Video Interview Act — currently a placeholder vehicle for any negotiated AI-employment language.

What it does

Technical amendment to the Artificial Intelligence Video Interview Act (820 ILCS 42). Modifies short title provisions. Shell bill that could be amended with substantive AI employment provisions.

Analyst read

Speaker Welch’s technical-only amendment to the AI Video Interview Act passed Executive Committee 12-0 then sat on 2nd reading for two months before being kicked back to Rules — highly unusual for a Speaker bill and signals it’s a placeholder vehicle being held in case a substantive AI hiring amendment is needed later. Will likely return as a substitute vehicle for negotiated language in 2026 spring session.
