The Bill: Illinois Right to Know Bill
What does the Right to Know Bill in Illinois do? It allows a person to know what information is collected about the person and to which businesses that information could be sold.
Why is it considered bad for business?
- complex compliance regulations, which would apply to businesses of all sizes,
- enormous burden on small businesses statewide
- “requires any business with a website — even a local flower shop or pizza parlor — to draft privacy policies longer and more confusing than anything required by existing law and to create new IT (information technology) systems”
- pro-trial lawyer legislation
