Nebraska has emerged as an unexpected leader in AI chatbot regulation. With 11 AI-related bills tracked, the state's headline measure — LB 525, the Conversational AI Safety Act — has passed both chambers and is headed to the governor's desk. If signed, it would make Nebraska one of the first states to impose specific safety and disclosure requirements on conversational AI platforms. For a detailed breakdown of LB 525, see our Nebraska Chatbot Law (LB 525) deep-dive.

Conversational AI Safety Act: LB 525 (Passed Both Chambers)
LB 525 is Nebraska's flagship AI bill. It combines the Conversational Artificial Intelligence Safety Act with the Agricultural Data Privacy Act into a single omnibus measure. The AI provisions require operators of conversational AI platforms to implement safety measures and disclosure requirements, with enhanced protections for minors.
Who Is Covered
Any operator of a conversational AI system — including chatbots, virtual assistants, and AI companion products — that is accessible to Nebraska residents.
Key Requirements
- AI disclosure: Users must be clearly informed that they are interacting with AI, not a human
- Minor protections: Enhanced safety measures for users who may be minors, including content restrictions and parental notification mechanisms
- Safety standards: Operators must implement reasonable safety measures to prevent harmful outputs
- Compliance deadline: Expected July 1, 2027, if signed by the governor

Conversational AI Safety Act (Standalone): LB 1185
LB 1185 is a standalone version of the Conversational Artificial Intelligence Safety Act, introduced separately from LB 525. It covers similar ground — disclosure requirements and safety standards for conversational AI systems — and was introduced as a companion measure. With LB 525 advancing further, LB 1185 serves as a legislative backstop.
AI Consumer Protection Act: LB 642
LB 642 would adopt the Artificial Intelligence Consumer Protection Act, a broader consumer protection framework for AI. While details are still developing, this bill signals Nebraska's interest in going beyond chatbot regulation to address AI consumer protection more generally. Companies deploying any consumer-facing AI in Nebraska should monitor this bill for new transparency and fairness obligations.
