Who it covers
- Operator. Any person, partnership, association, firm or business entity, or any member, affiliate, subsidiary or beneficial owner of one, who operates or provides an AI companion. R.I. Gen. Laws § 6-63-1(6)
Enforcement
- Enforcer: Rhode Island Attorney General, who may investigate, sue and seek injunctions against noncompliant operators.
- Penalty: Up to $15,000 per day, civil penalties that violations of the chapter may result in; fines are directed to suicide prevention programs. R.I. Gen. Laws § 6-63-4(b)
- Can people sue? The law does not say R.I. Gen. Laws § 6-63-4 (only attorney general enforcement is provided; the chapter is silent on private suits)
- Time to fix before enforcement: The law does not say
Exemptions
- Not AI companions: systems a business uses solely for customer service or to provide information about its products, services or customer accounts. R.I. Gen. Laws § 6-63-1(1)(ii)(A)

- Systems a business uses solely for internal purposes or employee productivity. R.I. Gen. Laws § 6-63-1(1)(ii)(C)
What the text leaves open
- The bills number the new chapter 6-63. The published Public Law chapter 376 prints each section number as 6-63 run together with 6-64, so the final codified numbering (6-63 or 6-64) is unclear and was not checked against the General Laws.
- Related metrics in the annual report is not defined, and no filing deadline within the year is stated.
- The penalty is stated per day; the chapter does not say whether it also multiplies per user or per violation.
- The bill's explanation mentions financial harm to others and a notice about human emotions; the operative text covers only physical harm to others and a notice that the user is not communicating with a human.
- The public law chapter number and enactment date for H 7350 were not read from an official page in this run; the Senate companion S 2195 was enacted on June 22, 2026 as Public Laws 2026, chapter 376.

- Penalty: Actual and exemplary damages, a violation of the chapter's confidentiality provisions; the act applies the penalties in § 5-37.3-9, under which a violator may be held liable for these damages.

What the text leaves open
- Subsection 3(a) is hard to parse: it restricts attachment-simulating AI and AI companions in recorded or transcribed sessions unless there is written notice and consent, and subsection 3(c) then limits all AI use to what meets 3(a). How this fits with the defined permitted use for administrative and supplementary support is not stated.
- Subsection 3(c)(2) links direct AI therapeutic communication to an established relationship and patient consent; whether such communication is allowed once those exist is not clear from the text.
- The only penalties are for confidentiality violations, by reference to § 5-37.3-9. No fine, licensing consequence or remedy is stated for the other provisions.
- Section 40.1-5-26, which governs when records may be disclosed, was not opened.
- The companion public law (P.L. 2026, ch. 374 (S 2197 Substitute A as amended)) carries the same text; the two were compared in this review and no difference in substance was found.
- Whether any lawsuit challenges the act was not checked.

Information, not legal advice. This plan 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 duty and talk to a qualified lawyer before acting. Using this page does not create an attorney-client relationship. See our terms of service.
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.
