| 1 | | AMENDMENT TO SENATE BILL 575
| 2 | | AMENDMENT NO. ______. Amend Senate Bill 575 by replacing | 3 | | everything after the enacting clause with the following:
| 4 | | "Section 1. Short title. This Act may be cited as the Keep | 5 | | Internet Devices Safe Act.
| 6 | | Section 5. Legislative findings; intent. The General | 7 | | Assembly finds the following: | 8 | | (a) An increasing number of everyday household devices, | 9 | | such as smart phones, televisions, cars, toys, and home | 10 | | appliances, are being enhanced by speech recognition and other | 11 | | technologies that use microphones to listen for environmental | 12 | | triggers. As a result, private companies are gaining | 13 | | unprecedented and near constant access to Illinois citizens and | 14 | | their families' private lives, including what they do in their | 15 | | homes and their daily habits. | 16 | | (b) While there are tremendous benefits from these |

|
| 1 | | technologies, the collection of personal information from | 2 | | Internet connected devices pose serious privacy and physical | 3 | | safety risks to Illinois citizens and children. Children's toys | 4 | | now have microphones that can record and collect personal | 5 | | information from conversations within earshot of the device. | 6 | | (c) The increasing prevalence of these technologies in | 7 | | everyday devices enables companies to collect, store, analyze, | 8 | | and share increasing amounts of personal data, often without | 9 | | Illinois families ever knowing. Illinois citizens have a right | 10 | | to their personal data and the public welfare, security, and | 11 | | safety will be served by requiring companies to be transparent | 12 | | about their data collection and sharing practices. | 13 | | (d) It is the public policy of the State of Illinois to | 14 | | ensure that Illinois citizens be aware of and have control over | 15 | | whether a private entity records, collects, stores, or | 16 | | discloses their personal information and to ensure that their | 17 | | personal information is maintained in a secure manner. | 18 | | Section 10. Definitions. In this Act: | 19 | | "Digital device" means a smart phone, tablet, television, | 20 | | computer, car, toy, home appliance, or any other device that | 21 | | may be used for personal, family, or household purposes that | 22 | | contains a microphone. | 23 | | "Microphone" means an instrument capable of listening for, | 24 | | collecting, recording, storing, analyzing, transmitting, | 25 | | interpreting, or otherwise using spoken words or other audible |

No private | 11 | | entity may turn on or enable, cause to be turned on or enabled, | 12 | | or otherwise use a digital device's microphone to listen for or | 13 | | collect information, including spoken words or other audible or | 14 | | inaudible sounds, unless a user first agrees to a written | 15 | | policy informing the user: | 16 | | (1) that the microphone in his or her digital device | 17 | | will be turned on, enabled, or used; | 18 | | (2) how often the microphone will be turned on, | 19 | | enabled, or used; | 20 | | (3) of the categories of information, such as spoken | 21 | | words or audible or inaudible sounds, the microphone will | 22 | | be listening for, collecting, storing, and disclosing; and | 23 | | (4) of the purpose for which the information will be | 24 | | collected, used, stored, and disclosed. |
