SB2255

Illinois SB2255 prohibits using surveillance data in automated systems to set prices for consumers or wages for employees.

Illinois SB2255, the Surveillance-Based Price and Wage Discrimination Act, bans the use of surveillance data in automated decision systems for setting individualized prices for consumers or wages for employees. Surveillance data includes personal characteristics, behaviors, or biometric information gathered through observation or inference. The Act allows exceptions for insurers using risk-relevant data and for employers basing wages on job-related data or cost differences. Violations can result in civil penalties up to $10,000 per violation and reasonable attorney's fees.
