Illinois HB5511 amended, lawmakers still have no clue how to write laws about tech
The text of Illinois House Bill 5511 has been amended. The amended version is available here: https://ilga.gov/documents/legislation/104/HB/PDF/10400HB5511ham001.pdf
This bill is still fundamentally flawed, with definitions that still include open source and hobbyist projects, IoT devices, etc. In addition, websites must now also request an age bracket signal (previously it was just applications), and interestingly enough, devices connected to the Internet via Ethernet don't count as an "Internet-enabled device" per Section 5. If you live in Illinois, please read the bill for yourself and call your legislators. You can find their contact info here: https://ilga.gov/members/FindMyLegislator
