IL HB4804

Requires registered nurses to obtain written patient consent before using AI to record, transcribe, summarize, or analyze clinical encounters, with patients able to revoke consent at any time

Prohibits AI from being substituted for nursing services, including clinical assessment, diagnosis, planning, intervention, or evaluation requiring professional nursing judgment

Mandates that AI used in clinical settings function only as decision support under nurse control, with nurses retaining authority to accept, modify, or reject any AI recommendation

Requires healthcare entities using AI in patient care to maintain validation and bias monitoring records, provide nurse training on AI systems, and prohibit staffing or discharge decisions based solely on AI

Adds violations of these AI provisions as grounds for disciplinary action against registered nurses, with the Department of Financial and Professional Regulation authorized to investigate healthcare entities for compliance
