Legislative bill overview

HB 2174 is an Illinois education technology bill sponsored by Representative Tony McCombie that remains in the rules committee process. The bill has passed executive committee with a "Do Pass" recommendation but has not advanced beyond second reading as of the most recent action in May 2025.

Why is this important

Education technology legislation can significantly impact how schools implement digital tools, data privacy protections, and technology access for students. The bill's current status suggests ongoing deliberation about its specific provisions among legislators before potential passage.

Potential points of contention

  • Lack of publicly available bill text: Without access to the specific language, the bill's actual provisions and their implications cannot be assessed, making transparent public evaluation difficult
  • Technology implementation costs: Education-tech bills often create unfunded or partially-funded mandates for school districts with varying fiscal capacity
  • Data privacy and student information: Technology bills frequently raise concerns about student data collection, sharing, and cybersecurity standards
