State of Illinois
2025 and 2026
HB5760

Introduced 5/5/2026, by Rep. Kimberly Du Buclet

SYNOPSIS AS INTRODUCED:

New Act

Creates the Commission on Artificial Intelligence and Workforce
Transition Act. Establishes the Commission on Artificial Intelligence and
Workforce Transition. Provides that the Commission shall direct specified
State agencies to conduct assessments of the actual and projected impact
of generative artificial intelligence systems and frontier artificial
intelligence systems on Illinois industries, occupations, regions, and
workers. Provides that the Commission shall identify, review, and make
recommendations regarding State and federal workforce development,
education, apprenticeship, unemployment insurance, and income support
programs with consideration of the assessments. Requires specified State
agencies to designate a senior staff liaison to the Commission and to
conduct assessments, analyses, and data collection activities directed by
the Commission. Provides that the Commission shall prepare and file an
initial comprehensive report and biennial update reports concerning
findings and recommendations. Sets forth provisions concerning membership;
administrative support; meetings; and confidentiality. Repeals the Act on
January 1, 2034. Effective immediately.

A BILL FOR

HB5760
LRB104 21590 SPS 37038 b
1

AN ACT concerning State government.

2

Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
3
represented in the General Assembly:

4

Section 1.
Short title.
This Act may be cited as the
5
Commission on Artificial Intelligence and Workforce Transition
6
Act.

7

Section 5.
Findings and declaration of policy.
The General
8
Assembly finds and declares:
9

(1) Generative artificial intelligence and related
10

frontier artificial intelligence systems are being adopted
11

at a pace and scale that differ meaningfully from prior
12

general-purpose technologies, with material consequences
13

for the composition, wages, and skill requirements of the
14

Illinois labor force.
15

(2) Estimates of the scope of potential labor
16

displacement vary substantially among credible sources,
17

ranging from aggregate displacement of approximately 6% to
18

7% of the United States workforce to projections that a
19

significantly higher share of entry-level, white-collar
20

positions may be displaced within the decade.
21

(3) The risk of a prolonged economic
22

transition-commonly, referred to as transition risk or
23

"j-risk", in which labor market recovery lags

HB5760
- 2 -
LRB104 21590 SPS 37038 b
1

technological adoption, warrants proactive, data-driven
2

planning by this State, distinct from and in addition to
3

long-standing prohibitions on artificial
4

intelligence-based discrimination in employment
5

decisions.
6

(4) Illinois' manufacturing base, transportation and
7

logistics concentration, administrative and clerical
8

workforce, public and private service sectors, and public
9

university and community college systems each present
10

unique exposure profiles that merit occupation-level and
11

region-level analysis.
12

(5) Existing Illinois workforce data infrastructure,
13

including the Illinois Department of Employment Security's
14

Labor Market Information program, the Illinois Workforce
15

Innovation Board's State Plan, and the reporting systems
16

established under the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity
17

Act, provides a strong foundation, but it is not designed
18

to detect artificial intelligence-driven occupational
19

shifts in near real time.
20

(6) The Illinois Future of Work Task Force and the
21

Generative AI and Natural Language Processing Task Force
22

provided valuable baseline analysis, but neither was
23

designed as an ongoing body with authority to direct
24

periodic agency assessments of generative artificial
25

intelligence's workforce impact.
26

(7) It is the policy of this State to anticipate,

HB5760
- 3 -
LRB104 21590 SPS 37038 b
1

measure, and mitigate artificial intelligence-driven labor
2

transition risk; to align workforce development,
3

education, and economic development investments with
4

emerging occupational realities; and to ensure that the
5

benefits and burdens of artificial intelligence adoption
6

are equitably distributed across Illinois workers,
7

regions, and communities.

8

Section 10.
Definitions.
As used in this Act:
9

"Affected worker" means an Illinois worker who has been
10

intelligence system, a frontier artificial intelligence
14
system, or an automated decision system that performs
15
cognitive tasks previously performed by human workers.
16

"Appropriate State agency" means each of the following,
17
with respect to the assessments and analyses described in
18
paragraph (1) of Section 25:

21

projections, local area unemployment statistics,
