Exemptions

  • Not a curation algorithm: responses to user-initiated searches on user-selected topics, age-appropriate content filtering, blocking violent, bullying or harassing content for minors, and curation required by laws on material harmful to minors. Utah Code 78B-3-1101 (curation algorithm definition)
  • A company is not liable based on content users post, or for declining to restrict or modify posts based solely on their content. Utah Code 78B-3-1103(6)

What the text leaves open

  • Utah Code 78B-3-1104 and 78B-3-1103(4) refer to 78B-11-1103 and 78B-11-1104, while the sections are codified at 78B-3; the text read does not explain this apparent numbering error.
  • The codified definition of minor points to Utah Code 13-71-101, part of the Utah Minor Protection in Social Media Act that a federal court preliminarily enjoined in 2024; that section and any later changes to it were not read.
  • No court ruling on Part 11 was found, but the federal court's own (.gov) copy of the NetChoice v. Reyes order was not opened; only a third-party copy was read as a lead.

Other enacted laws to check

These 16 enacted AI laws are in the states you chose, but they are not yet mapped duty by duty, so they are not in the plan above. Each page has a summary and the official source.

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 A law that is repealed or replaced on a known date shows that end date, and its duties leave the plan once the date passes.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.
