BUSINESS-TECH
SB 318 is a procedural bill that makes a technical correction to the short title of the Illinois Fairness in Lending Act. It does not change any substantive lending rules or affect borrowers, lenders, or consumer protections. The bill simply updates the official name reference within the existing law to ensure consistency in legal documents. This is a minor administrative adjustment with no new policy implications.

MODERATE
The bill was finalized by removing the standalone 'Prohibition on Bots Purchasing Tickets Act' and instead integrating its core provisions directly into the existing Consumer Fraud and Deceptive Business Practices Act. This change expands the legal scope by treating bot usage as a consumer fraud violation, allowing for broader enforcement remedies and penalties under the existing consumer protection framework.
Scope change
The bill's scope expanded from a standalone statute to a provision within the Consumer Fraud and Deceptive Business Practices Act, thereby subjecting bot violations to the full range of existing consumer fraud penalties and enforcement tools.
ENFORCEMENT
Enforcement authority was consolidated; the specific Attorney General enforcement section was removed and replaced with a clause stating that violations are now treated as unlawful practices under the Consumer Fraud and Deceptive Business Practices Act.
A new section was added to explicitly classify violations of the bot prohibition as 'unlawful practices' under the Consumer Fraud and Deceptive Business Practices Act, granting access to all remedies and penalties available under that law.
DEFINITION
The standalone definition section was removed and replaced with a new definition for 'event facility,' which specifically excludes schools, county fairs, hotels, and professional sports teams from the bot purchase prohibition.
REQUIREMENT
Reporting requirements were updated to apply specifically to owners or operators of 'event facilities' rather than all places of entertainment.
