Bill Summary · SB 316

Legislative bill overview

SB 316 is an Illinois business and technology bill sponsored by Senator Don Harmon that recently passed executive committee with unanimous approval (11-0-0). The bill has progressed through second reading and was scheduled for third reading consideration in early April 2025, though it was subsequently re-referred to the Assignments committee.

Why is this important

The bill's progression through committee and floor votes indicates it addresses substantive policy affecting Illinois's business or technology sector. The unanimous committee approval suggests bipartisan support, though the re-referral suggests either procedural necessity or potential need for further review before final passage.

Potential points of contention

  • Lack of bill text availability: Without access to the actual legislative language, specific contentious provisions cannot be identified from the public record alone
  • Re-referral implications: The April 11 re-referral to Assignments committee may indicate unresolved concerns or procedural requirements that delayed or modified the bill's path
  • Specificity unknown: "Business-Tech" is broad; the bill could range from tax incentives to regulatory reform to data privacy—each with different stakeholder impacts
