Information, not legal advice. This checklist summarizes what the official texts of the laws listed say. It does not decide whether a law applies to your organization; that turns on facts such as your size, your role as a developer or deployer, and how you use AI. Laws change, and courts and regulators can read them differently. Check the official text linked with each item and talk to a qualified lawyer before acting. Using this page does not create an attorney-client relationship. See our terms of service.

Where the items come from

Each item is one duty from an enacted law, read from the official text on the legislature’s or state’s own website. 265 of the 326 laws have also been read a second time to confirm every date, threshold, penalty and enforcer. Each item names who the duty falls on, when it starts, how often it recurs and the section it comes from, with a link.

Where a law is silent, the checklist says so rather than guessing. A law that is repealed or replaced on a known date shows that end date and drops off afterward. The list is rebuilt from these records every time the page loads.
