Comment by Daniel Didech

Illinois State Representative (Democrat); lead House sponsor of SB 315, the Artificial Intelligence Safety Measures Act

AI Verified Verified. I could not open the NBC URL directly because of robots restrictions, but an AOL-hosted syndication of Jared Perlo’s May 27, 2026 NBC News article contains the exact submitted wording and attributes it to Illinois Rep.
