Illinois advances bill to cap loud streaming ads, addressing gap in federal law.
Illinois lawmakers have advanced a bill to regulate streaming service commercials, requiring consistent audio levels between content and ads to prevent sudden volume spikes.
The legislation, sponsored by Sen. Doris Turner, would allow residents to file complaints if they experience disruptive loud ads, particularly affecting families with young children and individuals with hearing sensitivities.
It aims to close a regulatory gap left by the 2010 federal CALM Act, which covers broadcast, cable, and satellite TV but not streaming platforms.
The bill’s enforcement mechanism—whether by the Illinois Commerce Commission or attorney general’s office—remains under discussion.
The measure reflects growing public concern over audio consistency in digital media consumption.
