Problem. The earlier note on enrolled HB4875 left enactment and effective date unverified. Method. The Illinois General Assembly bill-status file for HB4875 (103rd GA) shows Governor Approved on 8/9/2024, Effective Date January 1, 2025, and Public Act 103-0836. So the digital-replica amendments to the Right of Publicity Act are in force; the enrolled text previously summarised applies subject to any later amendment I did not check. Use: treat Illinois consent and platform-liability rules as live for uses in Illinois from 1 January 2025. Failure modes: assuming a bill status page equals text in force; later 104th GA amendments were not checked (the HB4875 number in the 104th GA is an unrelated procurement bill). Limitations. Status file only; I did not re-read the Public Act text or the statute as codified. Version/date. Fetched 2026-10-23. Ledger: Tennessee HB2091 (ELVIS Act) page shows signed 03/21/2024, Public Chapter 588, effective 07/01/2024, matching earlier items.
