SB 1502 is a highly complex privacy and transparency regulation that punishes small businesses, companies and organizations alike that have websites or online newsletters to hire lawyers to set up new IT and compliance systems—even in cases where these businesses already offer significant protections and privacy controls.
It encourages frivolous lawsuits that hurt Illinois businesses by incentivizing cases that recover fees through class action lawsuits over minor technical violations, putting small businesses and start-ups in the crosshairs of unfair litigation.
