Illinois SB3186 amends the Consumer Fraud and Deceptive Business Practices Act to modify interpreter requirements in non-English retail transactions.

Illinois SB3186 amends the Consumer Fraud and Deceptive Business Practices Act by changing the requirements for interpreters in retail transactions conducted in languages other than English. The bill removes the requirement for an interpreter to sign a form when assisting a consumer in a transaction or negotiation. It also removes the need for a separate form if the consumer selects the retailer or an employee as their interpreter. The bill specifies that if a language cannot be written, the form must be in English.
