In plain language

Requires employers to disclose AI-related job impacts during mass layoffs.

This bill amends the Illinois Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act to mandate reporting of job losses linked to artificial intelligence. Employers must specify if layoffs are due to functions being automated or replaced by AI.

What this means for you
  • Workers: If you work in an industry affected by AI, you'll know more about layoffs related to automation.
  • Families: Families may find out if layoffs in their household are connected to AI, helping them understand job market changes.
  • Small Business: Small businesses must provide details on AI-related impacts during mass layoffs, affecting their reporting processes.

Summary

Amends the Illinois Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act. Provides that, when required to report the reason for a mass layoff or closing, the employer shall disclose any artificial intelligence-related job impacts, including the number of employees laid off substantially due to the replacement or automation by artificial intelligence of the functions performed by the employees. Provides that, if the Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity issues any public report disclosing mass layoffs or closings, the Department shall include the reason for the mass layoff or closing in the report, including whether the mass layoff or closing is substantially due to artificial intelligence. Makes other changes.
