Illinois General Assembly - Bill Status for SB3324

Creates Sammy's Law of 2024. Requires, before August 1, 2025, or within 30 days after a service becomes a large social media platform, a large social media platform provider to create, maintain, and make available to any third-party safety software provider a set of third-party-accessible real time application programming interfaces by which a child, or a parent or legal guardian of a child, may delegate permission to the third-party safety software provider to: (1) monitor the child's online interactions, content, and account settings on the large social media platform; and (2) initiate secure transfers of user data from the large social media platform in a commonly used and machine-readable format to the third-party safety software provider. Requires a third-party safety software provider to register with the Office of the Attorney General as a condition of accessing an application programming interface and any information or use data. Allows the Attorney General to deregister a third-party safety software provider if it is determined that the provider has violated or misrepresented a required affirmation or has not notified the Attorney General, a child, or a parent or legal guardian of a child of a change to a required affirmation. Requires, before August 1, 2025, or within 30 days after a service becomes a large social media platform, a large social media platform provider of the platform to register the platform with the Attorney General by submitting to the Attorney General a statement indicating that the platform is a large social media platform. Requires the Attorney General to establish a process to deregister a service if the service is no longer a large social media platform. Provides that in any civil action, a large social media platform provider shall not be held liable for damages arising out of the transfer of user data to a third-party safety software provider if the large social media platform provider has in good faith complied with the requirements of the Act and the guidance issued by the Attorney General in accordance with the Act. Effective June 1, 2025.
