Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
10 provisions identified: 6 benefits, 1 costs, 3 mixed.
Device age checks with privacy limits
Starting January 1, 2028, covered device makers must offer age entry during account setup; existing devices need it before July 1. The encrypted signal shows only an age group: under 13, 13–15, 16–17, or 18 and older. Sharing requires separate consent for each covered service; starting July 1, 2028, services must request signals at download or launch. An under-18 signal establishes minor status on that device, unless clear and convincing information shows a different age. Requests are limited to once per device yearly unless the user requests an update; only necessary data is allowed, with use and sharing limited to compliance or age-based features.
Parent consent and quieter feeds for kids
Starting January 1, 2028, covered platforms need verifiable parent consent before giving a covered minor an addictive, recommendation-based feed. They cannot make media autoplay the default for covered minors. Notifications are blocked from 10 p.m. to 7 a.m., except with verifiable parent consent or an alert accompanying a received direct message. Information collected to obtain parent consent can be used only for that purpose. Platforms must delete it within a reasonable time after the consent attempt, unless state or federal law requires keeping it.
Safer default privacy settings for kids
Starting January 1, 2028, covered services must hide identified minors' accounts and posts from known adults by default. Defaults also block adult reactions and direct messages, precise location sharing, and search-engine listings; specified changes require the minor's express choice. Gifted currency can move only between the minor and users already connected to them. Parents can override defaults for children under 16; parents or minors identified as over 16 can override their settings. Services cannot weaken every default through one control or prompt weaker settings unless strictly needed for a feature the minor clearly requested.
State enforcement and recovery for families
Starting January 1, 2028, Illinois' Attorney General can investigate suspected violations or public-interest matters, demand reports, examine records, and issue subpoenas. Courts can compel cooperation or authorize seizure of records or goods; remedies include stopping violations, refunds, receivership, and ending business authority. Only the Attorney General can request a $50,000 civil penalty per proven violation, which a court decides whether to award. Payments support the Attorney General's work through a state compliance fund, subject to approved funding or court-directed uses. In a receivership, harmed people can share assets with general creditors after proving damage; recovery is limited to out-of-pocket losses and available assets.
Parents can cap kids' gifted currency
Starting January 1, 2028, covered services must offer gift controls when they identify an account user as a covered minor. Parents can set a monthly cap on all gifted currency tied to that account. Parents must also have an easy way to view the account's full gifted-currency history at any time. The law sets no required dollar cap.
Device makers must treat services fairly
Starting January 1, 2028, covered device makers must apply at least the same law-related rules to their own services as others. They cannot use nonpublic compliance data from another service to compete against it or favor their own services. They also cannot use that data in ways unavailable to the service that supplied it.
Families generally cannot sue under law
Starting January 1, 2028, individuals generally cannot bring private lawsuits to enforce this law or recover damages under it. An exception requires express permission in the law. Remedies under other laws remain available, including Illinois' Consumer Fraud and Deceptive Business Practices Act.
Feed price protections, but service limits
Starting January 1, 2028, operators cannot raise prices or withhold or worsen service solely because an addictive feed is barred. Changes necessary to comply with the law are allowed. Operators can also choose not to serve minors.
Device makers protected from age errors
Starting January 1, 2028, device makers making good-faith compliance efforts are protected from liability for wrong age signals and later operator conduct. That protection accounts for available technology, reasonable technical limits, and outages. Complying operators can reasonably rely on manufacturer signals without independently checking age and receive protection for specified errors. Neither party is liable under this law when someone other than the person covered by the signal uses the device or app.
News and broadband providers are exempt
Starting January 1, 2028, the law excludes entities whose main purpose is news and whose workforce mostly works in news media. Broadband internet providers, their affiliates, and subsidiaries are also exempt. A provider cannot face a private lawsuit under this law for another entity's violation committed using its service.

HB5198, AFFORDABLE HOUSING-CILAS
Amends the Affordable Housing Planning and Appeal Act. Requires non-exempt local governments to provide residents with notice and the opportunity for comment at a public hearing prior to adopting an affordable housing plan. Requires a non-exempt local government to provide proof of its compliance with the notice and public hearing requirements when it submits a copy of its affordable housing plan to the Illinois Housing Development Authority. Expands the list of information that must be provided in the affordable housing plan to include, (i) an identification of "specific lands" (rather than "lands") within the jurisdiction that are most appropriate for the construction of affordable housing, (ii) proposed timelines to commence "specific actions and deadlines" (rather than "actions") to implement the components of the affordable housing plan, and (iii) incentives, including certain measures to address the need for affordable housing, that the local government may provide for the purpose of attracting affordable housing. In a provision permitting certain persons to appeal a local government's denial of a proposed affordable housing plan, expands the list to include a service provider that is under contract to provide services for potential residents of a proposed supportive housing project or community-integrated living arrangement that is included in the proposed affordable housing plan. Contains provisions concerning final actions or decisions by the governing body of the local government on the proposed affordable housing plans; appeal procedures and timelines; and other matters. Expands the Illinois Housing Development Authority's rulemaking authority to include the adoption of rules and regulations concerning the substance of affordable housing plans consistent with the changes made in the amendatory Act.
HB2563, CONDO-RESERVE STUDY
Amends the Common Interest Community Association Act. Requires a common interest association to conduct and update a reserve study every 5 years. "Reserve study" means an analysis of the reserves required for future major maintenance, repairs, and replacements of the common elements. Grants a 5-year window for an association to conduct a reserve study or update a current study. Requires a reserve study to be made available to any prospective purchaser of a unit upon request for a resale of any unit in the community. Exempts an association with 15 or fewer units but still requires the board to comply with the budgeting and reserve requirements elsewhere in the Act. Amends the Condominium Property Act to make similar changes.
HB4701, LIMITATIONS FACILITY FEES ACT
Creates the Limitations on Facility Fees Act. Provides that no health care provider shall charge, bill, or collect a facility fee, except for: (i) services provided on a hospital's campus; (ii) services provided at a facility that includes a licensed hospital emergency department; or (iii) emergency services provided at a freestanding emergency center. Provides that, except as specified, no health care provider shall charge, bill, or collect a facility fee for: (i) outpatient evaluation and management services; or (ii) any other outpatient, diagnostic, or imaging services identified by the Department of Public Health. Requires the Department to annually identify services subject to the limitations on specified facility fees that may reliably be provided safely and effectively in settings other than hospitals. Sets forth provisions concerning reporting, rulemaking, and enforcement of the Act. Amends the Fair Patient Billing Act to make a conforming change. Amends the Consumer Fraud and Deceptive Business Practices Act. Provides that any person who violates the Limitations on Facility Fees Act commits an unlawful practice.
SB3008, DHS-ABLE PROGRAM INFO MATERIAL
Amends the Mental Health and Developmental Disabilities Administrative Act and the Rehabilitation of Persons with Disabilities Act. Required the Department of Human Services to provide informational materials about the Senator Scott Bennett ABLE Program to: persons who are placed in a facility licensed under the ID/DD Community Care Act, the MC/DD Act, or the Specialized Mental Health Rehabilitation Act of 2013; persons with disabilities who receive services funded by or administered in conjunction with the Department, including, but not limited to, home and community based services, home-based support services, PUNS services, home care services, and services at a Center for Independent Living. Provides that the informational materials shall be provided when a person first enrolls for such services and as part of any annual process required for the person to maintain eligibility for such services. Requires the Office of the State Treasurer to prepare and deliver the informational materials in an electronic format to the Department and distribute the materials to eligible persons.
SB3484, VEH CD-PLATES-REGISTRATION
Amends the Illinois Vehicle Code. Provides that the design and color of registration plates shall be wholly within the discretion of the Secretary of State. Provides that plates for veterans with disabilities who have been approved for benefits under the Senior Citizens and Persons with Disabilities Property Tax Relief Act shall pay a specified fee (instead of $24). Authorizes the Secretary to suspend or revoke a certificate or the special plates issued to tow truck or wrecker operator upon determining that the person is not lawfully entitled thereto or has made or knowingly permitted any illegal use of the plates or has committed fraud in the registration of vehicles or failed to give notices of transfers. Prohibits a vehicle from being registered in the name of a person who is not an owner or lessee of that vehicle. Requires a vehicle owner seeking to register a vehicle in the State to register that vehicle to a State address. Provides that it is a violation for a person to alter, forge, or counterfeit a license plate or digital license plate. Provides that if no assignable title is available when auctioning a vehicle, the auctioneer or dealer must apply for Illinois title for the purpose of assigning title. Provides that the renewal fee for licenses and permits issued to 18, 19, and 20 year olds is $5. Provides that the Secretary shall issue a meter-exempt decal or device to the parent of a person with a disability who is under 18 years of age and incapable of driving or the legal guardian of a person with a disability incapable of driving. Makes other changes.
