SB 315 takes the safety practices leading labs already follow voluntarily—publishing a safety framework, transparent reporting, protecting whistleblowers—and helps establish a baseline that every leading AI developer is expected to meet. [...] Illinois lawmakers have set a new standard, and we hope other states and the federal government build on their dedication to AI safety.

The source_url (capitolnewsillinois.com) returned HTTP 403 to automated fetch, but the quote was independently confirmed verbatim via web search. Cesar Fernandez, Head of U.S. State and Local Government Relations at Anthropic, said: "SB 315 takes the safety practices leading labs already follow voluntarily — publishing a safety framework, transparent reporting, protecting whistleblowers — and helps establish a baseline that every leading AI developer is expected to meet... Illinois lawmakers have set a new standard, and we hope other states and the federal government build on their dedication to AI safety." The two [...] omissions are faithful. Author attribution is correct. Vote alignment checks out: the statement is "States should retain the right to set stricter AI safety standards than the federal government," and Fernandez praises a state (Illinois) setting a new AI-safety standard and hopes other states build on it, so a "for" vote is appropriate. Year 2026 is recent.
