Social media platforms: artificial intelligence models.

The Digital Choice Act mandates social media companies and deployers to provide consumers access to their data, with the Attorney General authorized to enforce compliance and adopt specified regulations.

Prohibit Surveillance Price & Wage Setting

Colorado's HB 26-1210 would have banned individualized price and wage setting: using an algorithm that applies statistical modeling, data analytics, AI or similar techniques to surveillance data about a person's characteristics, online behavior or biometrics, as more than a de minimis factor in the price offered to a consumer or the wage offered to a worker. Cost-based, supply-and-demand, public-discount, loyalty and need-based pricing, consumer-report credit refusals, and wages based solely on seniority or hired-for tasks and performance with plain-language disclosure, would have been allowed. Violations would have been deceptive trade practices. Vetoed by the Governor on June 2, 2026.

PROCUREMENT-LOCAL GOV AI

This bill establishes a 6-month pilot program to test AI applications in local government procurement across municipalities with populations under 200,000, selected by the contractor, supervised by the Department.

Research and Oversight of AI in Courts Act of 2026

The bill establishes a task force to address legal and ethical issues of AI speech-to-text and automatic speech recognition technology in U.S. courts. Specific issues and stakeholders are not detailed in the available description.

No Adversarial AI Act

The No Adversarial AI Act would have the Federal Acquisition Security Council list AI produced or developed by a foreign adversary within 60 days of enactment; OMB would publish the list within 180 days and the Council would update it at least every 180 days. Within 90 days, executive agencies would have to review and consider excluding and removing AI from listed foreign adversary entities, using their supply-chain authority under 41 U.S.C. 4713. Agency heads could approve exceptions, with notice to OMB and Congress, for research, testing, counterterrorism or counterintelligence, or mission-critical functions. Introduced June 25, 2025.

Autonomous Vehicles

The bill allows fully autonomous vehicles to operate without a licensed human operator and exempts them from certain traffic laws.

Artificial Intelligence and Children's Internet Safety Study Commission, created

HJR51 proposes the creation of the Artificial Intelligence and Children's Internet Safety Study Commission in Alabama. Specific details will be updated once the bill text is available.

Information Technology Act Amendments

Utah requires election communications containing synthetic media (audio, images or video substantially produced by generative AI) to carry set disclosures such as 'Contains content generated by AI', with a civil penalty of up to $1,000 per violation. The act also lets the intentional or knowing use and material assistance of an AI system in a crime be treated as an aggravating factor. The election rules took effect May 1, 2024; the sentencing provision took effect July 1, 2024.

Cartwright Act: violations.

California's antitrust law now makes it unlawful to use or distribute a common pricing algorithm, meaning any method, including software, used by two or more people that uses competitor data to recommend, set or otherwise influence prices or terms, as part of an agreement to restrain trade, or to coerce others into adopting its recommended prices or terms. It also provides that a Cartwright Act complaint need only allege facts making such an agreement plausible, without having to rule out independent action. Took effect January 1, 2026.

PROTECTS VOICE & IMAGES

The No AI FRAUD Act protects individuals' rights over their voice and likeness from unauthorized AI-generated replicas, with rights transferable for ten years posthumously.

An act relating to public safety; establishing a cause of action for nonconsensual dissemination of deep fake sexual images; establishing the crime of using deep fake technology to influence an election; establishing a crime for nonconsensual dissemination of deep fake sexual images

Minnesota created a civil claim and a crime for disseminating, without consent, a deep fake that realistically depicts an identifiable person's intimate parts or sexual acts, and a crime for disseminating a deep fake without the depicted person's consent to injure a candidate or influence an election. Civil remedies include damages, the defendant's profits and a civil penalty of up to $100,000; the sexual deep fake crime is a gross misdemeanor or, with aggravating factors, a felony. Took effect August 1, 2023.

Relating to artificial intelligence training programs for certain employees and officials of state agencies and local governments.

Texas's HB 3512 adds AI training to the state's annual cybersecurity training requirement. At least once a year, state agency employees who use a computer for at least 25% of their duties, and each elected or appointed agency officer, must complete an AI training program certified by the Department of Information Resources (DIR), as must local government employees and officials who have access to a local government computer system or database and use a computer for at least 25% of their duties. DIR must certify at least five programs each year, equal in length to the cybersecurity courses. Signed June 20, 2025; effective September 1, 2025.

Relating to artificial intelligence companions.

Oregon requires operators of AI companion platforms to tell users clearly that they are interacting with artificial output when a reasonable person would believe they were talking to a human, to keep and publish protocols that detect suicidal or self-harm ideation and refer users to crisis resources such as 988, and to add safeguards when the operator knows or has reason to believe a user is a minor. Operators must publish annual reports on crisis referrals, and people harmed can sue. Signed March 31, 2026; takes effect January 1, 2027.

Relating to autonomous vehicles.

HB4085 allows self-driving vehicles to operate without a license, prescribes financial responsibility requirements, and exempts operators from certain driver duties.

Autonomous Vehicle Testing Permit Requirement Congressional Review Emergency Declaration Resolution of 2025

Resolution 26-42 is a procedural Council resolution. It declared an emergency so the D.C. Council could pass the Autonomous Vehicle Testing Permit Requirement Congressional Review Emergency Amendment Act of 2025 after a single reading, avoiding a gap while related temporary and permanent laws awaited congressional review. That legislation amends the Autonomous Vehicle Act of 2012 to prohibit driverless testing of autonomous vehicles on District roads without an AV testing permit and to require companies testing with a test operator to notify the District Department of Transportation until permits become available. The resolution took effect March 4, 2025.

Fostering Access, Innovation, and Responsibility in Artificial Intelligence Act; established.

The FAIR AI Act mandates developers disclose certain AI model information and limits defenses in legal contexts, with an effective date of July 1, 2027.

Relating to motor vehicles, including automated motor vehicles; creating a criminal offense.

Texas rewrote its rules for self-driving vehicles. A vehicle with an automated driving system may operate with or without a human driver aboard if it can follow Texas traffic laws, has a manufacturer-installed recording device, meets federal safety standards, can bring itself to a safe stop if the system fails, is registered and titled, and carries the required insurance. Carrying passengers or goods commercially with no human driver requires authorization from the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles and a first-responder plan filed with the Department of Public Safety. The act took effect September 1, 2025.

Save Taxpayers’ Privacy Act

The Save Taxpayers’ Privacy Act prohibits the Secretary of the Treasury from requiring facial recognition technology for IRS online accounts.

AI Grand Challenges Act of 2026

The AI Grand Challenges Act would have the National Science Foundation set up an AI Grand Challenges Program within 12 months of enactment, awarding cash prizes of at least $1 million per winner for AI research that solves well-defined challenges in areas such as national security, cybersecurity, health, energy, agriculture, education, manufacturing and AI safety and transparency. At least one challenge must target AI-enabled cancer breakthroughs, with at least $10 million to each winner. Winners must be U.S.-based businesses or U.S. citizens or permanent residents. Introduced February 9, 2026.

Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives with respect to the use of artificial intelligence in the financial services and housing industries.

A nonbinding House resolution stating that the House Financial Services Committee should lead policymaking on AI in the financial services and housing industries. It says the committee should promote a pro-consumer, pro-investor and pro-innovation culture, ensure regulators enforce existing laws including anti-discrimination laws, avoid rules that disproportionately burden smaller firms, consider reforms to financial privacy laws, strengthen AI cybersecurity standards and study AI's effect on the workforce. Financial Services approved it 54-0 on January 22, 2026 and reported it, as amended, on March 19, 2026.

Relative to licensing requirements for autonomous vehicle testing and establishing an automated and connected vehicle testing and deployment commission.

Vetoed. HB 314 (2017-2018) would have created a New Hampshire autonomous vehicle testing license, requiring at least $10 million in insurance, bond or self-insurance, a $500 annual fee, federal safety-standard compliance and a law enforcement interaction plan; allowed SAE level 5 fully automated vehicles on the road only for licensed testers with an escort vehicle; and set up an automated and connected vehicle testing and deployment commission. Governor Sununu vetoed it on July 2, 2018. The House voted to override (279-66) but the Senate sustained the veto (5-19) on September 13, 2018.

AN ACT relating to addictive online platforms.

Not law. As introduced, HB 227 would have regulated both AI companion platforms and large social media platforms in Kentucky: addictive features for minors, age verification, verifiable parental consent for children's accounts, a private right of action and Attorney General enforcement. The House committee substitute removed the AI companion platform provisions, leaving a social media bill, which the House passed 96-0 on March 9, 2026. It then stalled in the Senate Judiciary Committee and died when the 2026 session ended.

AN ACT to amend Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 39, relative to criminal offenses.

As introduced, SB 1815 would have made it a crime to own an AI system that encourages a user to commit suicide. That AI provision was removed before passage. The enacted law, the Grace Anne Sparks Coercive Suicide Prevention Law of 2026 (Public Chapter 1098), makes it a Class D felony for a person to intentionally advise or encourage someone to commit or attempt suicide within an imminent period of time, knowing that person has communicated an intent to commit suicide. It does not mention artificial intelligence. Effective July 1, 2026.

Relative to the use of information technology and artificial intelligence systems by state agencies.

Did not pass. SB 657 would have expanded New Hampshire's oversight of AI in state government: the information technology council would advise on agencies' development, procurement and use of AI, including compliance with the state's AI code of ethics (RSA 5-D) and privacy safeguards, and the Department of Information Technology would keep a public inventory of executive-branch AI systems and report each October 1 on their use, compliance, incidents and workforce effects. Both chambers passed versions, but the Senate refused the House amendment on May 21, 2026 and no further action followed.

Enacting the Kansas age-appropriate design code act to require businesses to assess and mitigate risks of compulsive use in minors; enacting the Kansas stopping likeness abuse by nonconsensual digital replicas act to create a private right of action for the unauthorized digital replication and…

Not law. HB 2772 would have enacted three Kansas acts. An Age-Appropriate Design Code Act would have required online businesses likely to be used by minors to assess designs for the risk of compulsive use, use the lowest-risk design by default, give minors the highest privacy settings, and limit data collection. A digital-replica act would have let people sue over digital replicas of their likeness made without consent. A chatbot act would have required chatbots to say they are not human, limited the use of chat logs, and made providers liable for injuries their chatbots cause. It died in the House Federal and State Affairs Committee on April 10, 2026.

Not law. SB 499, the Senate twin of HB 2772, would have enacted three Kansas acts. An Age-Appropriate Design Code Act would have required online businesses likely to be used by minors to assess designs for the risk of compulsive use, use the lowest-risk design by default, give minors the highest privacy settings, and limit data collection. A digital-replica act would have let people sue over replicas of their likeness made without consent. A chatbot act would have required chatbots to say they are not human, limited the use of chat logs, and made providers liable for injuries their chatbots cause. It died in the Senate Federal and State Affairs Committee on April 10, 2026.

Establishing the Kansas community harmed by AI technology act, mandating user accounts and age verification for AI chatbot access, classifying users by age, requiring parental consent for minors, blocking explicit content, protecting age information confidentiality, monitoring for suicidal…

Not law. The Kansas CHAT Act (Community Harmed by AI Technology Act) would have required anyone offering a companion AI chatbot in Kansas to require user accounts, verify every user's age (freezing existing accounts until verified), and link minors' accounts to a verified parent account with parental consent. Minors would have been blocked from chatbots that engage in sexually explicit talk, and cut off with their parent alerted if they expressed suicidal thoughts. Chatbots would have had to show a pop-up at least every 60 minutes saying the user is not talking to a human. It died in committee on April 10, 2026.

Making it unlawful for a person to knowingly train artificial intelligence to encourage or support suicide or the unlawful killing of another person, provide emotional support, develop emotional relationships, act as a healthcare professional, simulate humans or encourage isolation.

Not law. SB 405 would have made it unlawful in Kansas to knowingly train AI, including chatbots, to encourage suicide or killing, give emotional support, act as a companion, pose as a licensed mental health or healthcare professional, act like a human friend, encourage isolation from family, or simulate a human being. The Attorney General or a harmed person could have sued for actual damages or $150,000, plus punitive damages and fees; courts could order the AI shut down until retrained and fine up to $50,000 per violation. It had a hearing on February 9, 2026 and died in committee on April 10, 2026.

Creates provisions relating to artificial intelligence chatbots

Not law. SB 1455, Missouri's Senate version of the GUARD Act, would have made it unlawful to design or offer an AI chatbot knowing or recklessly disregarding that it risks soliciting minors into sexually explicit conduct, or that it encourages suicide, self-injury or violence (fines up to $100,000 per offense). Operators would have had to require accounts, verify every user's age, freeze existing accounts until verified, bar minors from their chatbots, and disclose at the start of each conversation and every 30 minutes that the chatbot is AI, not a human. It was referred to committee and got no further action before the May 15, 2026 deadline for passing bills.

Ban on employer use of automated decision systems.

Not law. HB 1421 would have barred Indiana employers with 11 or more workers, and state and local government employers, from relying solely on an automated decision system for hiring, firing, pay, scheduling or other job decisions. Using such a system's output would have required bias testing before use and independent testing every year, advance notice to workers and applicants, human review, plain-language documentation within 7 days, and a right to dispute and appeal to a person. Workers could opt out of algorithmic management. It was referred to committee on January 8, 2026 and got no further action before the 2026 session adjourned.

AN ACT relating to artificial intelligence and declaring an emergency.

Not law. As passed by the House 88-7 on February 23, 2026, HB 455 would have barred anyone from providing or advertising therapy or psychotherapy in Kentucky, including through internet-based AI, unless a licensed professional performs it. Licensed therapists could have used AI only for administrative and supplementary support such as scheduling, billing and notes, with written notice and consent before using AI on recorded sessions, and AI could not make therapeutic decisions or treatment plans without their approval. Fines up to $10,000 per violation. It reached the Senate but got no further action before the 2026 regular session ended.

Creates a consumer bill of rights regarding artificial intelligence

Not law. HB 734 would have created a Louisiana AI bill of rights. Companion chatbot platforms would have needed a parent's consent for minors' accounts, with parental controls and self-harm alerts, AI disclosures and hourly break reminders for minors, and safeguards against material harmful to minors. Any bot would have had to show an hourly pop-up saying the user is not talking to a human. It also would have barred AI companies from selling personal data unless deidentified, banned commercial use of AI-generated likenesses without consent, and limited state AI contracts with entities tied to foreign countries of concern. It was withdrawn on March 30, 2026.

Autonomous vehicles.

This bill mandates that automated tractor-trailers in Indiana must have a qualified human operator present during operation on highways for transporting passengers and goods.

AN ACT to amend Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 4, Chapter 3, Part 31, relative to the artificial intelligence advisory council.

Not law. SB 1362 would have updated Tennessee's AI Advisory Council law: a new definition of artificial intelligence; a council of 24 to 27 members, including AI-experienced appointees and two or three nonvoting experts; data privacy and security best practices for state agencies in the council's action plan; and a yearly inventory of federal and state AI laws to find overlaps, conflicts and gaps that may hinder AI innovation. Filed in February 2025, it was sent to a Senate Commerce and Labor subcommittee in February 2026 and died when the 114th General Assembly adjourned.

AN ACT to amend Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 8, Chapter 27; Title 56 and Title 71, relative to health insurance.

Not law. SB 1261 would have regulated how Tennessee health insurers, TennCare and state employee plans use AI, algorithms and software in utilization review. Tools would have had to base decisions on the patient's own clinical history rather than group data alone, not replace provider judgment or discriminate, and be reviewed periodically. AI could not deny, delay or modify care based on medical necessity; only a licensed physician or qualified health professional could decide that. Violations would have been unfair claims practices, with a right to sue. It never left committee and died when the 114th General Assembly adjourned.

Crimes and offenses; obscenity; repeal and replace Code Section 16-12-80

Not law. HB 171 passed the Georgia House 160-0 in February 2025. Its final Senate Rules Committee substitute (March 27, 2026), the Ensuring Accountability for Illegal AI Activities Act, would have made it a felony (1 to 15 years) to knowingly create, distribute, solicit or possess for distribution AI-generated visual material harmful to minors, even if no real child is shown. It would also have added longer sentences when a defendant knowingly used AI to commit offenses such as stalking, elder exploitation, child enticement, theft, fraud or election interference. It never got a Senate floor vote before the 2025-2026 session ended.

Artificial intelligence systems that simulate humanlike relationships with children and providing a penalty.

Not law. AB 965 would have barred operators from making a companion chatbot available to Wisconsin children unless safety measures kept it from encouraging self-harm, suicide, violence, drug or alcohol use or disordered eating; offering mental health services; encouraging illegal acts; sexual content with a child; putting validation ahead of accuracy or safety; or optimizing engagement over those safeguards. Until 2027 it would have applied only when the operator knew the user was a child. Forfeitures up to $25,000 per violation, and harmed children could sue. It failed to pass when the session's floor period ended on March 23, 2026.

A bill for an act relating to the requirements for chatbot deployers, including required protocols, limitations on data collection, and requirements for minors to interact with artificial intelligence companions and therapeutic chatbots, and providing civil penalties, punitive penalties, and civil…

Not law. HF 2204 would have required anyone offering a chatbot to the public in Iowa to keep protocols to detect, respond to and reduce harm to users, putting user safety first, and to collect only the data it needs. Deployers would have had to use age verification to keep minors from AI companions (chatbots that simulate a romantic or emotional bond), get permission before offering chatbots that impersonate real people, and meet strict conditions, including a licensed professional's recommendation and clinical trial evidence, before offering therapeutic chatbots to minors. It was referred to committee on January 29, 2026 and died when the 2026 session adjourned.

A bill for an act relating to the ownership of artificial intelligence output and trained artificial intelligence. (See HF 2691.)

Not law. Iowa House Study Bill 635 would have set default rules for owning AI output and trained AI. A user whose input makes an AI generate output would own that output, unless the AI's terms of use or a contract says otherwise. A person who trains an AI on lawfully acquired data would own the resulting AI unless they transferred those rights by contract. The House Economic Growth and Technology Committee approved it 18-1 and it was renumbered HF 2691 on February 23, 2026, but HF 2691 never got a floor vote before the 2026 session adjourned.

Deceptive and fraudulent deepfake media in elections

Not law. H 3517 would have barred anyone from distributing, within 90 days of an election, synthetic media they knew or should have known was a deceptive and fraudulent deepfake of a candidate on the ballot, unless it carried a disclosure that it was manipulated or generated by AI. Depicted candidates could have sought injunctions and damages; violations would have been a misdemeanor (up to 90 days or $500), and a felony for a repeat offense within five years. News coverage, paid broadcasters acting in good faith and satire were exempt. It never left the House Judiciary Committee before South Carolina's 2026 regular session ended.

Autonomous Systems Amendments

UT SB0292: Autonomous Systems Amendments - Analysis pending due to lack of available bill text.

Establishes autonomous vehicle pilot program.

Not law. S 4702 would have had the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission run a three-year pilot letting approved testers operate fully autonomous vehicles, overseen by a seven-member task force. Testers would need a trained operator able to take control and $5 million in insurance or a bond; vehicles would need safety redundancy, override controls, crash data recording, cybersecurity and visible AV markings, and collisions would be reported within 48 hours. It also set rules for autonomous taxis and trucks. The Senate Transportation Committee approved it 6-0 on November 10, 2025, but it died when the 2024-2025 session ended.

Establishes autonomous vehicle pilot program.

Not law. A 5919 would have had the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission run a three-year pilot letting approved testers operate fully autonomous vehicles, overseen by a five-member task force. Testers would need a trained operator able to take control and $5 million in insurance or a bond; vehicles would need safety redundancy, override controls, crash data recording, cybersecurity and visible AV markings, and collisions would be reported within 48 hours. It also set rules for autonomous taxis and trucks. It never left the Assembly Transportation Committee before the 2024-2025 session ended; its Senate twin, S 4702, got further.

Use of Artificial Intelligence to Detect Firearms

Not law. SB 562 would have banned using artificial intelligence, including with cameras, video recording or live-streaming devices, to detect firearms in public areas in Florida, making it a first-degree misdemeanor. School grounds and the places where a concealed-carry license does not authorize carrying were exempt. It was indefinitely postponed and withdrawn on May 3, 2025 and died in the Criminal Justice Committee.

Mental health professionals: artificial intelligence.

Vetoed. SB 903, the Wellness and Oversight for Psychological Resources Act, would have limited AI in California psychotherapy to administrative and supplementary support. Recording or transcribing sessions, or AI triage, would have needed the patient's informed consent, and AI could not make therapeutic decisions, produce diagnoses or treatment plans, detect emotions or screen patients without a licensed professional's review. Companion chatbots could not be marketed as therapy. Governor Newsom vetoed it on September 30, 2026, calling it overly broad and saying it would restrict useful clinical tools and reach general-purpose AI.

Access to public records.

HB1360 allows Indiana public agencies to establish electronic portals for public records requests and mandates reporting of suspect requests to the public access counselor.

Adds to existing law to establish provisions regarding unbiased artificial intelligence in state government purchasing.

Did not pass. H 687 would have let Idaho executive-branch agencies, including public colleges, buy or use a large language model only if it is 'truth-seeking' and 'ideologically neutral.' Agencies could not use models designed to alter facts or history to advance diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) outcomes, restrict lawful content based on race or sex, embed DEI-based guardrails, or require users to affirm DEI concepts. Contracts would have given agencies access to system prompts, training directives and test results to check compliance. It passed the House 56-11 but died in the Senate State Affairs Committee.

Autonomous vehicles; work group to conduct an assessment of workforce impacts, etc.

Virginia's HB 1124 directs the autonomous-vehicle work group convened by the Secretary of Transportation (with the Secretary of Public Safety and Homeland Security) under Chapter 498 of 2025 to assess the workforce impacts of autonomous vehicles, including an overview of job losses and gains. The group must include stakeholders from the auto manufacturing industry and labor representatives from the passenger and product carrier business, and complete its assessment of labor impacts by November 1, 2026. Approved April 13, 2026 (Chapter 738); effective July 1, 2026.

Political campaign advertisements; synthetic media, penalty.

Vetoed. Virginia's SB 775 (2025) would have barred sponsoring an electioneering communication (a paid message naming a candidate, aimed at voters within 60 days of the election) containing synthetic media, meaning deceptively altered or AI-generated images or audio of an identifiable person, unless it conspicuously stated that it contains synthetic media that may present conduct or speech that did not occur. Violations would have carried civil penalties up to $25,000 and, if willful, a Class 1 misdemeanor; voters could have sued to stop the ads. Governor Youngkin vetoed it (the Senate received the veto March 25, 2025), and the Senate sustained the veto April 2, 2025.

Enacts the legislative oversight of automated decision-making in government act (LOADinG Act) to regulate the use of automated decision-making systems and artificial intelligence techniques by state agencies.

New York's S 7543-B, the LOADinG Act (Chapter 674 of 2024), as signed would have barred state agencies from using automated decision-making systems for public benefits or decisions affecting rights or safety without meaningful human review, and required impact assessments. Before those rules took effect, Chapter 96 of 2025 replaced them: each state agency using automated employment decision-making tools must post a list of them by December 30 each year, starting 2025; the Office of Information Technology Services keeps a public AI inventory; and, until July 1, 2028, AI use may not displace state employees. Signed December 21, 2024; effective July 1, 2025.

Relative to providing multimodal transportation technologies

Not law. S 2379 would have allowed fully autonomous vehicles (SAE Level 4 or 5) to drive on Massachusetts highways without a human driver once licensed by MassDOT, if they can reach a minimal-risk condition after a system failure and follow traffic laws. Vehicles of 10,000 pounds or more would still need a human driver aboard; owners would file a law-enforcement interaction plan and carry $1 million in liability coverage, and on-demand autonomous ride networks would be allowed. It was sent to a study order on July 31, 2026, ending it for the session.

Mississippi Fully Autonomous Vehicle Enabling (MS FAVE) Act of 2023; establish to regulate operation of autonomous vehicle on public roads.

Mississippi's MS FAVE Act of 2023 lets fully autonomous vehicles run on public roads without a human driver if the system is engaged and the vehicle will reach a minimal risk condition if it fails, can obey traffic laws, and bears any federally required certification label. Operators must first file a law enforcement interaction plan and proof of insurance with the Department of Public Safety. The engaged system counts as the licensed driver; vehicles are registered and titled as autonomous; on-demand AV networks may operate; and state agencies and local governments cannot ban AVs or add AV-specific taxes, fees or rules. Effective July 1, 2023.

Personal rights: liability: social media platforms.

Vetoed. California's SB 771 would have made social media platforms with more than $100 million in yearly gross revenue liable for civil penalties when they violate state civil rights laws (Civil Code §§ 51.7, 51.9, 52 and 52.1) through algorithms that relay content to users, or aid, abet, conspire in or are joint tortfeasors in such violations: up to $1,000,000 per intentional, knowing or willful violation and $500,000 per reckless one, up to double if the platform knew or should have known the plaintiff was a minor. Vetoed by Governor Newsom October 13, 2025; veto sustained March 2, 2026.

Automated license plate recognition systems.

Vetoed. California's SB 274, the ALPR Data Accountability Act, would have tightened rules for automated license plate recognition (cameras plus computer algorithms that turn plates into searchable data). Public agencies could not have kept data not matching an authorized hot list past 60 days, police could have used it only to locate vehicles or people reasonably suspected of involvement in a public offense, every query would have needed a logged case file number (or AG task force name), and vendor contracts could not give default access to national ALPR databases. Vetoed by Governor Newsom October 1, 2025; veto sustained March 2, 2026.

Employment: automated decision systems.

Vetoed. California's SB 7 would have regulated employers' use of automated decision systems (ADS) such as AI tools in employment decisions. Employers would have had to give workers written notice at least 30 days before deploying an ADS for decisions other than hiring (by April 1, 2026 for systems already in use), tell applicants when one is used in hiring, not rely solely on an ADS to discipline, fire or deactivate workers, use a human reviewer when relying primarily on one, and give a post-use notice, with a $500 civil penalty. Vetoed by Governor Newsom October 13, 2025; veto sustained March 2, 2026. A later bill, SB 947, was signed in 2026 (Chapter 859).

Leading Ethical AI Development (LEAD) for Kids Act.

Vetoed. California's AB 1064, the LEAD for Kids Act, would have barred businesses and government agencies from making a companion chatbot available to a child unless it was not foreseeably capable of encouraging self-harm, suicidal ideation, violence, drug or alcohol use or disordered eating; offering unsupervised therapy; encouraging harm or illegal acts; sexually explicit interactions; favoring validation over accuracy or safety; or optimizing engagement over those guardrails. The Attorney General could seek $25,000 per violation and harmed children or parents could sue. Vetoed by Governor Newsom October 13, 2025; veto consideration stricken January 22, 2026.

Artificial intelligence: defenses.

California's AB 316 adds Civil Code § 1714.46. In a lawsuit against a defendant who developed, modified or used artificial intelligence alleged to have harmed the plaintiff, the defendant may not argue that the AI autonomously caused the harm. Defendants may still raise any other affirmative defense, including evidence on causation or foreseeability, and evidence of the comparative fault of other people or entities. Signed October 13, 2025 (Chapter 672); effective January 1, 2026.

Law enforcement agencies: artificial intelligence.

California's SB 524 (Penal Code § 13663) requires every law enforcement agency to have a policy that official reports written fully or partly with AI name each AI program used, state "This report was written either fully or in part using artificial intelligence," and carry the preparer's signature verifying the facts. The AI first draft must be kept as long as the report, agencies must keep an audit trail, and vendors may not share or sell agency data except as allowed. Signed October 10, 2025 (Chapter 587); effective January 1, 2026.

Public contracts: automated decision systems: procurement standards.

Vetoed. California's SB 892 (2024) would have required the Department of Technology to adopt regulations setting a procurement standard for automated decision systems (ADS), with risk assessments, risk controls, incident monitoring, prohibited uses, equity and human-oversight reviews and data minimization. From January 1, 2027, state agencies could not have bought ADS until those rules existed, and contracts would have needed risk-assessment and notice-and-appeal clauses. Governor Newsom vetoed it September 20, 2024, saying it would disrupt existing work and create unbudgeted General Fund costs.

PROTECT IMAGE-VOICE-LOOKS

Business-to-business uses, video game experiences and upscaling or compression tools are excluded. Only the Attorney General enforces it, under the Consumer Protection Act. Separately, government agencies must tell consumers when they are interacting with an AI system.

DIGITAL PROTECT-USE OF REPLICA

Illinois' Public Act 104-0282 (HB 3178) narrows Section 10 of the Digital Voice and Likeness Protection Act, which makes unenforceable a services-contract provision letting a digital replica of a person's voice or likeness replace work they would have done in person, if it lacks a reasonably specific description of intended uses and the person had neither a lawyer who negotiated the replica license nor a union contract covering replicas. The rule now applies only to new replica performances fixed on or after January 1, 2026, and not when uses fit the contract and the recording's fundamental character. Approved August 15, 2025; effective January 1, 2026.

An Act Regarding Synthetic Media in Campaign Advertising

Maine requires campaign ads that contain 'synthetic media' of a candidate to carry the disclosure 'THIS COMMUNICATION CONTAINS AUDIO, VIDEO AND/OR IMAGES THAT HAVE BEEN MANIPULATED OR ALTERED.' Synthetic media is an image, audio or video of a candidate that deceptively shows them saying or doing something they did not, or is altered to give a materially different impression; clarity edits, captions, satire and parody are excluded. Violations can bring civil penalties of up to 500% of the expenditure, and the Attorney General can seek injunctions. Broadcasters and newspapers are liable only with actual knowledge. Effective July 29, 2026.

Prohibits the use of a wage-fixing algorithm in combination with personal or behavioral data to set or recommend wages or compensation

A 9638 would ban 'surveillance wages' in New York: employers could not use a wage-fixing algorithm, or its output, together with a worker's personal or behavioral data (such as financial, purchasing, browsing, biometric or location data, or profiles drawn from them) to set or recommend pay, whether the employer or a third party collects the data. Tools that use only job requirements, performance (not customer reviews), qualifications, labor market conditions or local cost of living are exempt. The Attorney General, the Labor Department and harmed workers could sue for the greater of actual damages or $3,000 per violation, tripled if willful. Pending in the Assembly Labor Committee.

Mississippi's SB 2269 keeps in force, until July 1, 2029, the rule that anyone operating a fully autonomous vehicle on public roads without a human driver must first submit a law enforcement interaction plan to the Department of Public Safety. The rule (Code § 63-35-7, from the 2023 MS FAVE Act) was set to be repealed July 1, 2026. The plan covers how to reach a fleet support specialist, how to safely remove and tow the vehicle, and how to tell whether it is in autonomous mode; without one, the Department may order the vehicle off public roads. Approved March 13, 2026 (Chapter 330); effective July 1, 2026.

Companion Artificial Intelligence Chatbots

Not law: died in committee. SB 1344 would have required operators of companion AI chatbots in Florida (bots built mainly to simulate friendship, companionship, emotional or therapeutic conversation) to require user accounts and verify every user's age, freezing existing accounts on July 1, 2026 until verified. Minors would have needed a verified parental account and parental consent and been blocked from bots that suggest sexually explicit communication, and every user would have seen a pop-up at the start and every 60 minutes saying they are not talking to a human. It died in the Senate Commerce and Tourism Committee on March 13, 2026.

Relates to requiring advertisements to disclose the use of synthetic media

Not law. A 216 (2023-2024) would have required anyone advertising goods or services in New York, in any medium, to disclose a synthetic performer in an ad when they knew of it: a digital asset made with generative AI or software to look like a human performer who is not any identifiable real person. Violations would have carried civil penalties of $1,000, then $5,000 for each later one. Its final version, A 216-C, was sent to the Assembly Rules Committee on June 6, 2024 and died when the session ended. A later version, S 8420-A, became law in December 2025.

AN ACT RELATING TO INSURANCE -- THE TRANSPARENCY AND ACCOUNTABILITY IN ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE USE BY HEALTH INSURERS TO MANAGE COVERAGE AND CLAIMS ACT

Rhode Island's proposed Transparency and Accountability in AI Use by Health Insurers to Manage Coverage and Claims Act. Health insurers, and contractors acting for them, would have to disclose to the health insurance commissioner and DBR how they use AI in claims and coverage decisions (models, role, training data, performance metrics, governance) and keep records of AI-driven decisions for five years. Any clinical denial in which AI was a substantial factor would need review and approval by a provider with the same license as the ordering provider, or it would be invalid. Regulators would report yearly. The Senate passed a substitute on June 9, 2026.

Public employees: notice: artificial intelligence performing service within scope of work.

Vetoed. AB 2656 would have required California public employers to give a recognized employee organization at least 45 days' written notice before taking action to develop, purchase or require the use of generative AI to perform a service within the scope of work of a job classification it represents. Governor Newsom vetoed it on September 30, 2026, saying it would add redundant administrative layers for public agencies, slow even harmless tools, and that the issue is best handled through collective bargaining.

Enacts the "New York fundamental artificial intelligence requirements in (FAIR) news act"; provides transparency requirements for news media content composed, authored, or otherwise created through generative AI.

New York's FAIR News Act (S 8451-B / A 8962-B) passed both houses in June 2026 but has not been delivered to the Governor, so it is not law. If enacted, news media content (news, weather, traffic, sports or entertainment) published, broadcast or accessible in New York that was substantially composed, authored or otherwise created through generative AI would have to say so conspicuously at the top of the page, image or video, or aloud at the start of audio. Content eligible for copyright registration would be exempt. The Attorney General could seek injunctions; courts could impose $1,000 for a first offense and $5,000 for each later offense. It would take effect 60 days after becoming law.

Requires synthetic content creations system providers to include provenance data on certain content made available by the provider

Passed both houses; awaiting delivery to the Governor. S 6954-B, the Stop Deepfakes Act, would require providers of publicly available generative AI systems to attach provenance data (content credentials such as the C2PA standard) to AI-generated or AI-modified images, audio and video, identifying it as synthetic, the provider and when it was made. Hosting platforms could not knowingly offer systems that don't. Large online platforms would have to keep provenance data and show it to users, and state agencies would label their own media. The Attorney General could seek injunctions and fines up to $25,000 per violation. Effective 180 days after signing.

This bill allows the operation of fully autonomous vehicles on public roads in New York without a human driver, provided conditions such as specific safety standards, registration, and insurance are met.

Health insurance

Not law. S. 920 would have required South Carolina health insurers that use AI, algorithms or other software for prior authorization to base decisions on the patient's own medical history and clinical circumstances, have a licensed physician or other qualified professional make every denial, reduction or deferral, tell enrollees that AI is used, certify yearly that their tools are fair and non-discriminatory, and share denial rates on request, with Department of Insurance enforcement. The Senate Banking and Insurance Committee reported it favorably on April 30, 2026, but it was never taken up before the regular session ended.

artificial intelligence; content verification

Rhode Island's AI companion law, effective January 1, 2027, applies to operators of AI companions: AI that simulates a sustained human-like relationship by remembering users, asking unprompted emotional questions and keeping up a personal dialogue. Operators must have a protocol for addressing possible suicidal ideation, self-harm or physical harm to others expressed by a user, with a referral to crisis services when detected, and must tell users at the start of an interaction and every three hours that they are not talking to a human. From July 1, 2027 operators file annual reports with the Attorney General, who enforces with penalties up to $15,000 a day. Signed June 22, 2026.

AN ACT RELATING TO BEHAVIORAL HEALTHCARE, DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES AND HOSPITALS -- OVERSIGHT OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE TECHNOLOGY IN MENTAL HEALTH CARE ACT

Rhode Island's Oversight of Artificial Intelligence Technology in Mental Health Care Act bars anyone from providing or advertising therapy or psychotherapy, including through internet-based AI, unless a licensed professional provides it. Licensed providers may use AI for administrative and supplementary support, but not to make independent therapeutic decisions, set treatment plans, or talk with clients therapeutically outside an established provider relationship. Using emotional companion-type AI in recorded or transcribed sessions needs written, informed consent. The Executive Office of Health and Human Services investigates. Signed and effective June 22, 2026.

AN ACT to amend Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 55 and Title 65, relative to autonomous vehicles.

Includes "deep fake" images created by digitization within the definition of unlawful dissemination or publication of an intimate image.

New York's S 1042-A extends the crime of unlawful dissemination or publication of an intimate image (Penal Law § 245.15), a class A misdemeanor, to images created or altered by digitization, meaning realistically altered using images of another person or computer-generated images. It is a crime to intentionally disseminate or publish, with intent to harm a person's emotional, financial or physical welfare, an image of that identifiable person with intimate parts exposed or engaged in sexual conduct with another person, when the actor knew or reasonably should have known the person did not consent. Signed September 29, 2023 (Chapter 513); effective November 28, 2023.

An Act relating to defamation claims based on the use of deepfakes; and relating to the use of deepfakes in electioneering communications.

Not law. HB 358 passed the Alaska House 38-2 on May 9, 2024. It would have made a defamation claim based on a deepfake defamation per se and barred knowingly using a deepfake in an electioneering communication to influence an election. People harmed could sue creators, knowing distributors or anyone who stripped a disclosure; a clear 'has been manipulated' label was a defense, and platforms and broadcasters carrying others' ads were not liable. The Senate Judiciary Committee rewrote it on May 13, 2024, but it died when the session ended.

Excludes a production using artificial intelligence or autonomous vehicles in a manner which results in the displacement of employees whose salaries are qualified expenses from the definition of qualified film for the purposes of the empire state film production credit.

This bill excludes productions using AI or autonomous vehicles that displace employees from qualifying for New York's film production credit.

Establishes contract requirements for contracts involving the creation and use of digital replicas.

New York's S 7676-B adds General Obligations Law § 5-302. A clause in a personal or professional services agreement is void as to new performances by digital replication if it lets a digital replica of the person's voice or likeness replace work they would have done in person, lacks a reasonably specific description of the intended use, and the person was not represented by counsel who negotiated the replica license (the text also refers to terms stated clearly and conspicuously in a signed writing) or by a union whose bargaining agreement expressly addresses digital replicas.

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE – Adds to existing law to establish the Conversational AI Safety Act.

Idaho's Conversational AI Safety Act (Idaho Code Title 48, ch. 21) regulates public-facing AI chatbots that simulate human conversation. Operators must disclose that the service is AI when a reasonable person could be misled, adopt a suicide-ideation protocol that refers users to crisis services, and not claim the service provides professional mental health care. For users they know or reasonably believe are minors, operators must show AI disclosures, avoid engagement rewards, block sexually explicit content, and prevent claims of sentience, emotional dependence and romantic role-play. The Attorney General enforces it. Effective July 1, 2027.

Political campaign advertisements; synthetic media, penalty.

Vetoed. Virginia's HB 2479 (2025) would have barred sponsoring an electioneering communication (a paid message naming a candidate, aimed at voters within 60 days of the election) containing synthetic media, meaning deceptively altered or AI-generated images or audio of an identifiable person, unless it conspicuously stated that it contains synthetic media that may present conduct or speech that did not occur. Violations would have carried civil penalties up to $25,000 and, if willful, a Class 1 misdemeanor; voters could have sued to stop the ads. Governor Youngkin vetoed it (March 24, 2025), and the House sustained the veto April 2, 2025.

IDPH-DIAGNOSTIC ALGORITHM

Hospitals must ensure diagnostic algorithms are certified, provide patients with options before use, and report annually on the algorithms.

Artificial intelligence; definitions; requiring operators make certain disclosure; preventative measures for minor account holders; prohibitions; enforcement authority to Attorney General; civil penalty. Effective date.

Not law. SB 1521 would have required operators of public conversational AI services to tell minor users they are talking to AI, through a constantly visible disclaimer or at the start and every 30 minutes, prevent statements suggesting a human for minor accounts, offer minors no engagement rewards, never present the AI as providing professional mental health care, and refer users expressing suicidal ideation to crisis services. The Attorney General could seek $1,000 per violation, capped at $500,000 per company. The Senate (43-0) and House (90-0) passed different versions, but the Senate never voted on the House amendments, so it died with the session.

AN ACT CONCERNING THE USE OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AND OTHER MEANS TO GENERATE DECEPTIVE SYNTHETIC MEDIA AND AFFECT ELECTIONS.

Did not pass. HB 5342 would have barred distributing deceptive synthetic media (AI-altered or fake images, audio or video of a person) within 90 days before a Connecticut election or primary, without the person's consent and with intent to injure a candidate or sway the result, unless it carried a 'manipulated' disclaimer. Violations would have been crimes, from a class C misdemeanor to a class D felony for repeat offenses, and the Attorney General, depicted people and candidates could have sued. It cleared two committees but never got a House vote; the page previously showed it as passed by one chamber.

Artificial intelligence chatbot technology requirements provision

Not law. SF 4997 would have barred chatbot operators in Minnesota from letting chatbots give substantive medical, mental health or legal advice that would require a license, with a private right of action that a disclaimer could not waive, and required clear notice that users are talking to AI. Companion chatbot operators would have had to use industry-standard methods to prevent self-harm content and detect minors, suspend use for at least 72 hours and show crisis contacts when self-harm appears, and would have been liable, strictly so for minors, for resulting self-harm. It was introduced April 7, 2026 and never left committee.

Permits testing and use of autonomous vehicles on State roadways under certain circumstances.

Not law. A 1589 would have let autonomous vehicles be tested on New Jersey roads with Motor Vehicle Commission approval. Testing would have needed a licensed operator employed or designated by the manufacturer, seated in the driver's seat and able to take control at once, and $5 million in insurance, a surety bond or self-insurance. Manufacturers would have had to certify prior testing on private tracks or out-of-state roads and tell buyers what information their autonomous technology collects. It never left committee in the 2024-2025 session.

Concerns regulation of automated systems and artificial intelligence used by State agencies.

Not law. S 1438 would have set rules for New Jersey state agencies' use of automated systems and AI. A new Artificial Intelligence Officer would write procedures for agencies using automated systems to make critical decisions and publish agencies' inventories of those systems, and an AI Implementation Officer would have to approve any new automated system an agency wanted to develop, use or buy, starting two years after enactment. It also would have created a legislative AI Advisory Board and a task force to draft an AI bill of rights. It never left committee in the 2024-2025 session.

Prohibits creation or disclosure of deceptive audio or visual media, known as "deepfakes," under certain circumstances.

This bill prohibits the creation or disclosure of deceptive deepfake media under certain circumstances, which are to be verified once the full bill text is available.
