Illinois' HB 1937 (Rep. Jed Davis) is a regulatory-reduction bill that mentions AI only as a permitted tool. As introduced, it would require the Auditor General to survey the Illinois Administrative Code for mandates and restrictions on the private sector and local governments and report within 2 years of the effective date, and would require State agencies to cut those mandates. The Auditor General, contractors, and agencies could use AI to do the counting. Introduced February 4, 2025; in Rules Committee.
