Known as SB328, the legislation would create a new "consent-by-registration" system in Illinois, under which companies from throughout the U.S. and the world could be sued in Illinois courts for certain kinds of claims, whether or not the company has any real presence in Illinois or if the alleged injury occurred in Illinois. Businesses and lawsuit reform advocates have denounced such tactics as abuses of the nation's legal system in pursuit of big profits for trial lawyers.
SB328 is our wonderful state legislators fluffing their trial lawyer friends. Prima facia evidence that lawyers making law is a conflict of interest.

Just another absurd unconstitutional clownish ‘law’ passed by the Democrat fools of Illinois that Kwaumie will spend millions of taxpayer dollars unsuccessfully defending. This joins dozens of other moronic Democrat efforts. most of these are part of the Pritzker for President 2028 Presidential Campaign. This one is repayment of a bribe to Democrats from Illinois Trial Lawyers. Just like the absurd pensions and grossly above-market wages are repayment of bribes from Public Sector Union scum.

The minimum contacts test (first announced by the Supreme Court in International Shoe v. Washington in 1945) is a legal standard used to determine if a court can exercise personal jurisdiction over a defendant who is not physically present in the state where the court is located. This test ensures due process by ensuring that a defendant’s ties with the forum state are sufficient to make it fair and just to subject them to the court’s jurisdiction.
Allowing companies to be sued in Illinois –without the requisite minimum contacts, is unconstitutional on its face.
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.
