Proposed Illinois bill would prevent employers from requiring microchip implants – WCIA (Champaign)
Senator Steve Stadelman has filed a bill that prevent Illinoisans from being microchipped without their consent. The law protects all Illinoisans from being required, coerced, or compelled to undergo the implanting of an identification chip under their skin by anyone, but has special protections for employees. The senator said rules are needed to safeguard human rights and ethical standards in the face of technological innovation.
