SB4020
Illinois SB4020, introduced by Sen. Bill Cunningham, creates a framework to expand district energy systems (centralized heating/cooling networks) and thermal energy storage across the state. It requires large developers (buildings over 100,000 sq ft) to conduct District Energy Feasibility Assessments, sets up grants and financing programs, and puts thermal storage on equal footing with electric storage in state incentive programs. This bill has essentially nothing to do with AI regulation.

SB2906
Illinois Senator Ram Villivalam introduced SB2906, which would let rideshare drivers (Uber, Lyft, etc.) unionize and collectively bargain with rideshare companies over pay, benefits, and deactivation policies. The bill creates a state-supervised sectoral bargaining system run by the Illinois Labor Relations Board and Department of Labor, with antitrust immunity for the resulting agreements.

SB2473
Illinois SB2473, introduced by Sen. Bill Cunningham, overhauls how municipal and cooperative electric utilities plan, procure power, and price electricity. It mandates integrated resource plans every 3 years, requires at least one market-based time-of-use rate option for retail customers, sets renewable energy targets (25% by 2026 rising to 40% by 2030, 100% by 2045), and forces retirement of coal and gas generation by 2045. Despite being tagged as AI-related, this is fundamentally an energy and utility governance bill with no AI-specific provisions.
