In one paragraph

Illinois's SB 2993 (104th General Assembly) would amend the Medical Practice Act of 1987 to bar a licensee from allowing AI to prescribe medication unless the licensee keeps full control and responsibility for the prescription. It would set penalties and give the Department of Financial and Professional Regulation investigatory and rulemaking authority. Re-referred to Senate Assignments on May 22, 2026.
