Senate Bill 315 passed unanimously in the Illinois state Senate and House of Representatives in May. The bill was modeled after 2025 laws in New York and California, in an effort to further a national standard lawmakers say is lacking at the federal level.
The bill would require developers to create and publish a transparency framework explaining how the company applies industry standards, measures model capabilities and chance of catastrophic risk, and identifies and responds to safety incidents.
