Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS)

Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process. Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the Guide.

Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes, statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect. If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes made to the current law.

    Sec. 10. Unenforceable agreements.
    (a) A provision in an agreement between an individual and any other person for the performance of personal or professional services is unenforceable only as it relates to a new performance, fixed on or after January 1, 2026, by a digital replica of an individual if the provision meets all of the following conditions:
        (1) the provision allows for the creation and use of
    
a digital replica of the individual's voice or likeness in place of work the individual would otherwise have performed in person;
        (2) the provision does not include a reasonably
    
specific description of the intended uses of the digital replica; and
        (3) the individual was not either:
            (A) represented by legal counsel who negotiated
        
on behalf of the individual licensing his or her digital replica rights and the licensing terms governing the use of the applicable digital replica exist in a written agreement; or
            (B) represented by a labor union representing
        
workers who do the proposed work and the terms of the labor union's collective bargaining agreement expressly covers uses of digital replicas as that term is defined in this Act or in the individual's collective bargaining agreement.
    (b) The failure to include a reasonably specific description of the intended uses of a digital replica as described in paragraph (2) of subsection (a) shall not render a provision in an agreement unenforceable when the uses of the digital replica are consistent with the terms of the contract for the performance of personal or professional services and the fundamental character of the photography or sound track as recorded or performed.
    (c) This Section does not affect any provision of a contract other than a provision described in subsection (a) and does not impact, abrogate, or otherwise affect any exclusivity grants contained in, or related to, a provision subject to subsection (a).
