Just one example from this year’s mad rush to adjournment is SB328, one of the most unnecessary, costly and potentially destructive proposals in recent memory.
The legislation would allow lawsuit-filing lawyers to drag companies from all over the country and the world into Illinois’ state courts, even if the defendant company has no connection to Illinois.
A largely unasked question is becoming glaring: Is Illinois doing all it should to use artificial intelligence to make government cost less and work better? So far, the evidence says no.
