Plain-language summary
Amends Illinois' Nurse Practice Act to regulate registered nurses' use of AI in patient care, barring AI from substituting for nursing services while allowing its use as clinical decision support under a nurse's control. Requires health care employers to keep bias-monitoring and validation records, train nurses on system limitations, give nurses access to the data behind AI recommendations, and bars staffing or care decisions that rely solely on AI.
