Illinois HB5760, introduced by Rep. Kimberly Du Buclet in the 104th General Assembly, creates the Commission on Artificial Intelligence and Workforce Transition Act (Section 1). The bill establishes a permanent Commission (Section 15) composed of 13 appointed members plus seven ex officio voting members, including legislative appointees, Governor-appointed representatives of labor, business, academia, workforce development, and an affected worker with lived experience, as well as the directors of key state agencies. The Commission is charged under Section 25 with directing state agencies to assess the actual and projected workforce impact of generative AI and frontier AI systems on Illinois industries, occupations, regions, and workers—including occupational exposure analyses, industry employment projections, regional analyses across all economic development regions, sector-specific analyses covering manufacturing, transportation, administrative, legal, healthcare, and education sectors, and demographic differential exposure analyses. Under Section 25, the Commission must also review and recommend improvements to workforce development, education, apprenticeship, unemployment insurance, and income support programs; compile best practices from other states and countries; and convene public hearings in at least five Illinois regions. Section 30 requires each appropriate state agency to designate a senior staff liaison within 60 days of the Commission's first meeting and to submit findings at least annually. Under Section 35, the Commission must file an initial comprehensive report within 18 months of its first meeting and biennial update reports thereafter, with annual interim findings letters in non-report years, all posted publicly in an accessible format. Section 40 governs data sharing and confidentiality, prohibiting individual-level disclosure of wage records, education records, and employer submissions. Section 45 clarifies the Act does not regulate private AI development or create a private right of action. The Act sunsets on January 1, 2034 (Section 50) and takes effect immediately (Section 99).
