CIVIL LAW-TECH
SB 340 amends the Probate Act of 1975 by making a technical correction to the short title of a specific section. This change updates the section's name without altering the law's substance or requirements. The bill affects only the legal text of the Probate Act and has no direct impact on residents, courts, or legal procedures. It serves as a routine clarification to ensure the statute's wording aligns with current legislative formatting.

MINOR
The bill was converted from a technical amendment to the Probate Act into a comprehensive new law called the Illinois Consumer Data Privacy Act. This shift transforms the legislation from a minor title correction into a full-scale privacy framework that establishes consumer rights and data processing rules.
Scope change
The bill's scope expanded significantly from amending a single section of the Probate Act to creating a standalone civil law act that regulates how businesses collect, use, and share personal data.
SCOPE
The original text intended to amend the Probate Act of 1975 and change its short title, which was removed entirely.
DEFINITION
A new section was added defining key terms such as 'Consumer' (Illinois residents acting individually), 'Controller' (businesses determining data use), 'Personal data,' and 'Dark pattern' (designs that trick users).
REQUIREMENT
New requirements were introduced to protect consumers, including specific rules against 'dark patterns' and the right to revoke consent for data processing.
