What changed?

SB 315 became Public Act 104-0538. Large frontier developers must publish a frontier AI framework and transparency reports, report critical safety incidents to the state, protect whistleblowers and, from 2028, commission annual independent third-party audits. Recorded from search extracts of the ILGA bill status page.

What does it mean in practice?

Large frontier developers should map their California SB 53 framework to Illinois's audit requirement.
