Mary Edly-Allen SYNOPSIS AS INTRODUCED: 750 ILCS 5/105 from Ch. 40, par. 105 Amends the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act. Provides legislative intent that the misuse of artificial intelligence involves the fabrication of evidence that can be fake, manipulated, or non-existent that can have a profound effect in family law cases. Provides that its misuse can be particularly harmful in family law proceedings because of the emotion involved. Requires that on the request of either party, the court must review evidence under Supreme Court Rule 901 to evaluate proposed evidence that may have been generated by artificial intelligence as that term is defined in the Illinois Human Rights Act. LRB104 19443 JRC 32891 b A BILL FOR SB3901 LRB104 19443 JRC 32891 b 1 AN ACT concerning civil law. 2 Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois, 3 represented in the General Assembly: 4 Section 5. The Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of 5 Marriage Act is amended by changing Section 105 as follows: 6 (750 ILCS 5/105) (from Ch. 40, par. 105) 7 Sec. 105. Application of Civil Practice Law.) 8 (a) The provisions of the Civil Practice Law shall apply 9 to all proceedings under this Act, except as otherwise 10 provided in this Act. 11 (b) A proceeding for dissolution of marriage, legal 12 separation or declaration of invalidity of marriage shall be 13 entitled "In re the Marriage of ... and ...". A parental 14 responsibility allocation or support proceeding shall be 15 entitled "In re the (Parental Responsibility) (Support) of 16 ...". 17 (c) The initial pleading in all proceedings under this Act 18 shall be denominated a petition. A responsive pleading shall 19 be denominated a response. If new matter by way of defense is 20 pleaded in the response, a reply may be filed by the 21 petitioner, but the failure to reply is not an admission of the 22 legal sufficiency of the new matter. All other pleadings under 23 this Act shall be denominated as provided in the Civil SB3901 - 2 - LRB104 19443 JRC 32891 b 1 Practice Law. 2 (c-5) Notwithstanding any other law, the court must review 3 evidence in proceedings under this Act under Supreme Court 4 Rule 901 to evaluate whether the proposed evidence may have 5 been generated by artificial intelligence as that term is 6 defined in the Illinois Human Rights Act. 7 (d) As used in this Section, "pleadings" includes any 8 petition or motion filed in the dissolution of marriage case 9 which, if independently filed, would constitute a separate 10 cause of action, including, but not limited to, actions for 11 declaratory judgment, injunctive relief, and orders of 12 protection. Actions under this subsection are subject to 13 motions filed pursuant to Sections 2-615 and 2-619 of the Code 14 of Civil Procedure. 15 (Source: P.A. 99-90, eff. 1-1-16 .)
