Introduced by Rep. Maura Hirschauer with 40+ co-sponsors, it has passed one chamber and would let the Attorney General fine violators up to $50,000 per violation.

HB5044

Illinois Rep. Jennifer Gong-Gershowitz introduced a bill that would treat chatbots as 'products' under strict liability law, meaning any company that creates or distributes a chatbot could be sued for user injuries even if they took every reasonable precaution. Users could sue for damages, injunctions, and attorney's fees in state or federal court, with no requirement that they had a direct relationship with the chatbot provider.
