WOPR Act Compliance Review
A specialized review for behavioral health operators and AI-enabled mental health platforms operating in Illinois under the Wellness and Oversight for Psychological Resources Act.
Why now
The Wellness and Oversight for Psychological Resources Act (HB 1806, Public Act 104-0054) has been in effect since August 1, 2025. The law:
- Prohibits any individual, corporation, or entity from offering therapy or psychotherapy services to the public in Illinois unless conducted by a licensed professional
- Restricts how licensed professionals may use AI in therapeutic services to the "permitted use" definitions in the Act
- Prohibits AI from making independent therapeutic decisions, directly interacting with clients in therapeutic communication, or generating treatment plans without licensed professional review and approval
- Carries penalties for violation by individuals, corporations, or entities
Illinois is the first state with a substantive AI-in-mental-health law on the books. Other states are watching. Most behavioral health operators in Illinois know the law exists but have not formally reviewed their AI vendors and clinical workflows against it.
Who this is for
- Hospital systems with behavioral health divisions operating in Illinois
- Telehealth platforms providing mental health services to Illinois residents (geography follows the patient, not the company HQ)
- AI-enabled mental health platforms with Illinois users
- Employee Assistance Program providers serving Illinois employers
- Health plans with behavioral health utilization management touching Illinois members
