AI Regulation Push: Illinois Senate Democrats unveiled an eight-bill package to regulate AI uses—consumer protection, developer transparency, and education—aiming to pass before May 31 after federal action stalled. FDA Watch: Straus Family Creamery recalled select organic ice cream in 17 states over possible metal fragments, while FDA inspection reports show mixed outcomes across Illinois counties (some “No Action Indicated,” others “Voluntary Action Indicated”). Workforce & Infrastructure: IDOT launched a pilot to repay up to $15,000 a year in student loans for newly hired civil engineers who stay four years, and construction is set to begin May 18 on Illinois 2 in Sterling with lane closures through November. Energy Efficiency: Ferrero says ComEd-backed upgrades at its Franklin Park plant saved 8.5 million kWh and cut energy bills by about $777,000 annually. Local Life: A Savoy/ACES pen-pal program is turning campus life into scholarships and hands-on learning for students.
