Bill
HB 1887
HB1887 refers to three different bills across jurisdictions, but none provides a single, unified policy: (1) creation of offenses and civil penalties for disclosing intimate images
Summary of HB 1887 — materials supplied include multiple, different bills titled “HB 1887”
Note: The documents you provided appear to combine three distinct pieces of legislation (or disparate versions) that share the bill number HB 1887 but come from different jurisdictions and address different subjects. Because the texts are mixed, this summary separates and summarizes the distinct items found in the packet and highlights where information is missing or inconsistent.
1) Title listed in your Bill Information (no full text provided)
- Title shown: “Creates the offense of and civil penalties for disclosure of intimate digital depictions”
- Status & metadata: Prefiled (H); Introduced January 16, 2025; Subjects include civil procedure, crimes & punishment, criminal procedure, science & technology.
- What the title implies: The bill would create a new criminal offense and civil remedies for the nonconsensual disclosure of intimate digital images or videos (“revenge porn”–type conduct). Typical provisions in such bills (not provided here) would define “intimate digital depictions,” create elements of the crime, provide criminal penalties (misdemeanor or felony depending on intent/harms), and authorize civil damages, injunctions, and fee-shifting.
- Important caveat: No statutory text or specific penalties, definitions, or enforcement mechanisms for this title were supplied, so the actual content and scope of this bill cannot be summarized beyond the title and subjects. Clarification or the bill text is needed to prepare an authoritative summary.
2) Illinois — HB1887 (as introduced): Amendments to the Nurse Practice Act (text included)
Purpose / intent
- Update definitions and delegation rules in the Illinois Nurse Practice Act; clarify scope of registered professional nursing practice and delegation authority; clarify advanced practice registered nurse (APRN) practice and pathways to full practice authority.
Key provisions and changes
- Clarifies that registered professional nursing practice is a scientific, learned profession informed by understanding human condition across the lifespan and environment.
- Delegation rules:
- Registered professional nurses (RNs) may delegate nursing interventions and tasks to other RNs and licensed practical nurses (LPNs) based on a “comprehensive nursing assessment.”
- RNs may delegate tasks to unlicensed personnel based on a comprehensive nursing assessment.
- RNs are explicitly prohibited from delegating work that requires nursing knowledge, assessment, judgment, inference, decision-making (including medication administration), development of a plan of care, and evaluation of a plan of care to unlicensed non‑nurse personnel.
- Repeals or removes earlier provisions concerning delegation and medication administration specifically in community-based or in‑home settings.
- APRN / full practice authority changes:
- Defines “APRN” and requires use of the title.
- Defines “full practice authority” for APRNs certified as CNP, CNS, CNM and CRNA to practice without a written collaborative agreement, with full clinical accountability and the authority to prescribe medications, including Schedule II–V controlled substances (per Section 65‑43).
- Creates “full practice authority—pending” status for APRNs who attest to 250 hours of relevant continuing education/training and 4,000 hours of clinical experience after national certification and who have applied to the Department.
- Miscellaneous: updates to multiple definitions (Department, Board, Center, various assessment types); Section 50‑10 is noted as scheduled for repeal on January 1, 2028.
Who is affected
- RNs, LPNs, APRNs, unlicensed nursing personnel, healthcare employers and facilities, patients/clients receiving nursing care, and state licensing/regulatory agencies.
Procedural/timeline aspects
- Effective date listed: August 1, 2025 (in the version provided).
- Section 50‑10 scheduled to repeal January 1, 2028.
3) Arkansas — HB1887 (text included): Statewide child abduction response teams
Purpose / intent
- Amend Arkansas law to require multiagency collaboration to form and implement statewide child abduction response teams and coordinate resources to rescue abducted/endangered children.
Key provisions and changes
- Specifies a list of state agencies required to collaborate (including Attorney General’s office, Arkansas State Police, Criminal Justice Institute, State Game and Fish Commission, sheriffs’ association, Division of Emergency Management, chiefs of police association, Division of Community Correction, and Office of the Prosecutor Coordinator).
- Requires each listed agency to execute memoranda of understanding (MOUs) that set guidelines for the response teams and to coordinate agency resources in adherence with the MOUs.
- Directs the Arkansas State Police to respond to child abduction incidents and provide preventative measures.
- Assigns the Criminal Justice Institute responsibility to coordinate certification and recertification of statewide child abduction response teams.
Who is affected
- State law‑enforcement and public-safety agencies listed above, prosecutors, responding multiagency teams, and children and families affected by abductions/missing child incidents.
Procedural/timeline aspects
- Legislative actions in the packet show multiple committee referrals and floor actions; a notification indicates HB1887 became Act 658 (notification dated 2025‑04‑16) and that the bill passed both chambers and was transmitted to the governor in April 2025. Sponsors listed: Pearce and Senator J. Petty.
Overall notes and recommendation
- The provided materials are inconsistent and mix at least three distinct measures (a titled offense re: intimate digital depictions with no text; an Illinois nursing practice amendment; and an Arkansas child abduction response teams bill). To produce a single, authoritative summary of “the bill,” please confirm which jurisdiction and which HB 1887 you want summarized (provide the exact text or bill link). If you want separate, fuller summaries for each of the three items above, I can expand each into a longer, clause‑by‑clause summary and list potential legal and operational impacts.
