AI Summary
This bill, titled the Illinois Consumer Data Privacy Act, establishes new rules for how businesses handle the personal data of Illinois residents, taking effect on January 1, 2027. It applies to companies that do business in Illinois or target Illinois residents and meet certain thresholds, such as collecting personal data from 100,000 or more consumers annually or deriving a significant portion of revenue from selling personal data and collecting data from 25,000 or more consumers. The Act grants consumers several rights, including the right to know if their data is being processed, to access and correct their data, to delete their data, and to opt out of the sale of their personal data or its use for targeted advertising or profiling. It also outlines responsibilities for "data controllers" (those who determine the purposes and means of data processing) and "data processors" (those who process data on behalf of controllers), requiring them to implement security measures and adhere to contractual agreements. The bill exempts certain entities and types of data, such as protected health information and data handled by financial institutions under federal law, and amends the Consumer Fraud and Deceptive Business Practices Act to make violations of this Act unlawful. Additionally, it makes data privacy and protection assessments made available to the Attorney General exempt from public disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act.
