(WIFR) – The new laws will go into effect across Illinois Jan. 1.
This law prohibits the use of Artificial Intelligence technology to create child sexual abuse images involving real children or obscene imagery.
Experts testified that AI images of real children used to generate child sexual abuse images cause real reputational, emotional and privacy injuries. Even when the technology doesn’t use images of real children, child abuse sexual abuse images can perpetuate abusive and predatory behavior.
The Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force investigates child exploitation crimes and trains law enforcement agencies.
This law enhances civil rights protections for residents and provides the following clarifications to the Illinois Human Rights Act:
This law protects workers from retaliatory conduct by employers, strengthens current protections under state law and codifies the right of the Workplace Rights Bureau to investigate and hold employers who retaliate accountable.
The definition of retaliation is expanded under this law to include blacklisting an employee from future opportunities and immigration-based retaliation.
This law increases accessibility to the Illinois Crime Victims Compensation Program, providing reimbursement to eligible victims of violent crime and their families to help pay expenses like hospital and medical charges, funeral and burial costs, relocation expenses and lost wages related to the crime.
