Who it covers
- Covered online service. A legal entity that owns, operates, controls or provides an online service and meets all five tests: it does business in the state, determines the purposes and means of processing personal data, and meets the revenue, data-volume and revenue-share thresholds. Threshold: All of: annual gross revenue above $25,000,000 (adjusted for inflation in odd-numbered years); buys, receives, sells or shares the personal data of 50,000 or more consumers, households or devices a year; and earns at least 50% of annual revenue from selling or sharing consumers' personal data. LB 504 § 2(5)(a)
Enforcement
- Enforcer: Nebraska Attorney General, the only enforcer the act names. A violation is also a deceptive trade practice under the Uniform Deceptive Trade Practices Act, with civil penalties governed only by this act.

What the text leaves open
- The coverage test is conjunctive as read: a service must meet the revenue, data-volume and 50% revenue-share thresholds together.
- The act is silent on a private right of action. Whether the Uniform Deceptive Trade Practices Act, which was not read, gives private parties a claim for the same conduct was not checked.
- Section 9(3) sets the penalty without naming who recovers it; section 9(1) names only the Attorney General.
- Codified section numbers in the Nebraska Revised Statutes were not confirmed, and any amendment in the 2026 session was not checked.

- Time to fix before enforcement: None
Exemptions

Neb. Rev. Stat. 28-1803(3)-(4); 28-1805(5)-(6) (defense applies only to 28-1805(1))
What the text leaves open
- The act has no emergency clause and states no effective date for sections 1-25; Nebraska acts without one take effect three calendar months after adjournment, but no official page stating that date for LB 383 was read, so no effective date is given for the duties.
- The Parental Rights in Social Media Act in LB 383 (secs. 26-30, operative July 1, 2026) is not covered. News reports say a federal court partly enjoined it in NetChoice v. Hilgers in 2026; that ruling was not read.

8 duties · checked November 12, 2026

Who it covers
- Operator. A person who makes a conversational AI service available to the public; app stores and search engines are not operators solely for providing access. LB 525 § 13(6)
Enforcement
- Enforcer: Nebraska Attorney General, who may sue an operator on behalf of the state or of an aggrieved person.
- Penalty: At least $1,000 per violation, up to $500,000 per operator, civil penalties in an attorney general action; the court may also award actual damages, equitable or declaratory relief, and costs and attorney's fees. LB 525 § 18(2)(b)

Exemptions
- Applications mainly designed and marketed for developers or researchers, or for business commercial use. LB 525 § 13(2)(b)(i), (iv)

- The act creates no liability for an AI model developer for a violation by a system that a third-party operator developed to provide a conversational AI service. LB 525 § 18(4)
What the text leaves open
- The act imposes no age-verification duty; a minor is someone the operator actually knows, or is reasonably certain, is under eighteen.
- Section 18(4) refers to the 'Conversational Artificial Intelligence Act', not the act's full short title.
- The $500,000 figure is written as a cap per operator; the text does not say whether it applies per action or in total.
- The Agricultural Data Privacy Act (sections 1 to 10) is not itemized in this file; its 45-day cure provision in section 9 does not apply to the conversational AI act.
Nebraska Ensuring Transparency in Prior Authorization Act, AI section (LB 77)
2 duties · checked November 12, 2026
Laws 2025, LB 77, §§ 1 to 13 (Ensuring Transparency in Prior Authorization Act); artificial intelligence provision at § 12. Official text · Full law page
Who it covers
- Utilization review agent. A utilization review agent, with the same meaning as in Neb. Rev. Stat. § 44-5418. That section was not opened. LB 77 § 2(18); § 12
Enforcement
- Enforcer: Nebraska Department of Insurance, which may at any time audit a utilization review agent's automated utilization management system and may contract with a third party to do so. The act names no other enforcement step. A web search on November 12, 2026 found no report of a court order blocking this law; court dockets were not searched.
- Penalty: the law does not set an amount.
- Can people sue? The law does not say LB 77 §§ 1 to 13 (no provision on private lawsuits)
- Time to fix before enforcement: The law does not say
What the text leaves open
- The act does not define artificial intelligence-based algorithm or automated utilization management system.
- The act sets no penalty, cure period or private right to sue for the AI section; whether the Department of Insurance can use penalties in other insurance statutes was not checked.
- The disclosure duty has no stated deadline, format or frequency.
- Who counts as a utilization review agent depends on Neb. Rev. Stat. § 44-5418, which was not opened. The act's definition of health carrier excludes a managed care agent (§ 2(12)), but section 12 places its duties on utilization review agents.
- The act does not say whether it applies to the medical assistance program; Medicaid is mentioned only in the biomarker testing sections.
- Codified section numbers and any 2026 amendment were not confirmed.
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. For how we find laws and decide what counts as an AI law, see our methodology. If you are not sure which laws touch your business at all, start with Am I Affected?
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.
