In one paragraph

Illinois' SB 3571 would amend the Illinois WARN Act so that an employer reporting the reason for a mass layoff or closing must disclose AI-related job impacts, including how many employees were laid off substantially due to replacement or automation by AI. Filed February 5, 2026, assigned to the Senate Executive Committee on February 17 and sent to its AI and Social Media panel; re-referred to Assignments on May 22, 2026 under Rule 3-9(a). It has not passed either house.

What it means for business

None yet: the bill has not been enacted. If enacted, employers required to give WARN notice would have to disclose AI-related (and, if amended, robotics-related) job impacts of layoffs.

Key provisions

  1. Would require employers, when reporting the reason for a mass layoff or closing, to disclose AI-related job impacts, including the number of employees laid off substantially due to AI replacing or automating their functions
  2. Would let the Director of Labor require other AI-related job impact information by rule
  3. Would require the Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity, if it issues a public report on mass layoffs or closings, to state the reason, including whether it is substantially due to AI
  4. Senate Committee Amendment No. 1 (filed March 2, 2026, not adopted; re-referred to Assignments May 22, 2026) would require employers giving notice to report the reason and would extend the disclosure, and the Department's report, to AI or robotics-related impacts
