Don Harmon introduced SB0379 in the Illinois Senate on Jan. 24, 2025, during the general assembly session 104, according to the Illinois General Assembly.

According to the Illinois General Assembly site, the legislature summarized the bill's official text as follows: "Amends the Freedom from Drone Surveillance Act. Makes a technical change in a Section concerning the short title."

The following is our breakdown, based on the actual bill text, and may include interpretation to clarify its provisions.

In essence, this bill amends the Freedom from Drone Surveillance Act by making a technical change to the section that specifies the short title of the Act. It does not introduce substantive changes or alter the legal implications or scope of the existing law. The effective date or intended impact of the amendment is not specified, suggesting a maintenance or clarification effort rather than a policy shift.

Don Harmon is currently serving in the Illinois State Senate, representing the state's 39th Senate District. He replaced previous state senator John Cullerton in 2003.

Bills in Illinois follow a multi-step legislative process, beginning with introduction in either the House or Senate, followed by committee review, floor debates, and votes in both chambers before reaching the governor for approval or veto. The General Assembly operates on a biennial schedule, and while typically thousands of bills are introduced each session, only a fraction successfully pass through the process to become law.
