Short description: 
ELECTRONIC MAIL-REMEDIES                                                   

Synopsis of Bill as introduced:
        Amends the Electronic Mail Act. Makes changes concerning existing      
   remedies. Requires a person who transmits  an  unsolicited  commercial      
   electronic  mail  message  to  include  specified  information  at the      
   beginning of the body of the message, and  requires  Internet  routing      
   information  in  such a message to be accurate, valid according to the      
   prevailing standards for Internet protocols,  and  accurately  reflect      
   message  routing.  Provides  that the Illinois Commerce Commission may      
   conduct  investigations  to  determine  whether  electronic  mail  was      
   transmitted in violation  of  the  new  provisions  and  provides  for      
   remedies  for  violations.  Provides that, if the Attorney General has      
   reason to believe that the interests of Illinois residents  have  been      
   or  are  being  threatened or adversely affected because any person is      
   engaging in a pattern or practice of the  transmission  of  electronic      
   mail in violation of the new provisions, the Attorney General may seek      
   specified  remedies.  Exempts  interactive  computer service providers      
   from the new provisions under specified circumstances, and  authorizes      
   an  interactive  computer  service  provider  adversely  affected by a      
   violation of certain provisions to bring a civil action for  specified      
   relief against a person who violates those provisions. Provides that a      
   person   who  receives  an  electronic  mail  message  requesting  the      
   termination of further  transmission  of  commercial  electronic  mail      
   shall  cease  the  initiation of further transmissions of such mail to      
   the person making the request. Provides  that  a  person  who  secures      
   goods  or  services  from, or otherwise responds electronically to, an      
   offer in a transmission of unsolicited commercial electronic  mail  is      
   deemed   to   have  authorized  the  initiation  of  transmissions  of      
   unsolicited commercial electronic mail from the person  who  initiated      
   the transmission. Makes other changes.
