How the plan is built
Each law in the plan was read from its official text, on the legislature’s or state’s own website. 265 of the 326 have also been read a second time to confirm every date, threshold, penalty and enforcer; the rest have had one full read, and each shows the date it was last checked. Each duty is written in plain English in 30 words or fewer and carries the section it comes from, with a link.
Where a law is silent, the plan says so. It does not borrow a penalty from another statute or guess at a deadline. A law that is repealed or replaced on a known date shows that end date, and its duties leave the plan once the date passes. The date each law was last checked appears with it.
The plan is built fresh from these records every time the page loads, so it changes as soon as a law is added or re-checked. To report an error, use the corrections page.

Common questions
What does an AI compliance plan cover?
Each duty an enacted state AI law places on a business or other regulated party: who it applies to, what it requires, when it starts, how often it recurs, who enforces it, the penalties and whether people can sue. The builder covers 1,235 duties in 326 enacted laws across 50 states, and every duty links to the section of law it comes from.
Where does the information come from?
From the official text of each law: the enrolled bill, session law or codified statute, opened 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, and the date each law was last checked is shown with it. Where a law is silent on a point, such as a penalty amount, the plan says the law does not say rather than filling the gap. Law firm summaries and news reports are never used as sources.
Does the plan include every AI law in a state?
Not yet. It includes the enacted laws we have mapped duty by duty. When you choose a state, its other enacted AI laws are listed separately with links, so nothing is left out of view. New laws are added as they are read. When a law is repealed or replaced on a set date, its duties show that end date and leave the plan once it passes.
How do I know which duties apply to my company?
Start with the 'who it covers' entry for each law: many apply only above a size or revenue threshold, only to developers or only to deployers, or only in one industry. The plan quotes those conditions from the text. Whether your company meets them depends on facts only you and your counsel know.
Is this legal advice?
No. It is information drawn from official legal texts, organized so you can see what each law requires. Use it to brief your team and your lawyers, not in place of them.
What does Pro add?
The same plan as a CSV file for spreadsheets and audit files, and as a calendar file (.ics) with every dated duty as an event that links back to the law. Both are built from the states and uses you pick. The plan on this page, and printing it, are open to everyone.
