Requires developers to establish, publish, and adhere to safety and security protocols and conduct regular risk assessments and third-party audits. Imposes civil penalties for violations up to $1,000,000.

This is a binding legislative bill (HB3506) introduced to the Illinois General Assembly that establishes mandatory requirements with civil penalties up to $1,000,000 for violations and enforcement by the Attorney General.
The document has good coverage of approximately 8-10 subdomains, with strong focus on malicious actors (4.1, 4.2), AI system security (2.2), competitive dynamics (6.4), governance failure (6.5), and AI safety failures (7.1, 7.2, 7.3). Coverage is concentrated in security, misuse prevention, and AI safety domains.
This legislation applies horizontally across all sectors where foundation models meeting the $100M compute threshold are developed. It does not target specific economic sectors but rather regulates AI developers regardless of their industry, making it a cross-sectoral governance framework focused on high-capability AI systems.
The document covers multiple lifecycle stages with primary focus on Build and Use Model, Verify and Validate, Deploy, and Operate and Monitor stages. It addresses foundation model development, testing, deployment decisions, and ongoing monitoring through risk assessments and audits.
The document explicitly defines and regulates 'foundation models' and 'artificial intelligence models.' It does not specifically mention frontier AI, general purpose AI, task-specific AI, generative AI, predictive AI, or open-weight models. It does reference a compute threshold of $100,000,000 in computational power costs for training.
Illinois General Assembly; Rep. Daniel Didech
The bill was introduced to the 104th General Assembly of the State of Illinois by Representative Daniel Didech, as indicated in the header and synopsis.
Attorney General of Illinois
The Attorney General is explicitly designated as the enforcement authority with power to bring civil actions, assess penalties, and seek injunctive relief for violations of the Act.
Attorney General of Illinois; third-party auditors
The Attorney General has inspection rights for unredacted documents. Additionally, developers must retain reputable third-party auditors annually to assess compliance with safety and security protocols.
The Act explicitly targets 'developers' defined as persons that have trained at least one foundation model with computational power costing at least $100,000,000. The obligations apply to developers of foundation models meeting this threshold.
