What it means for business

No duties for businesses because the bill was withdrawn. Had it passed, providers and insurers using AI in care or records would have needed FDA-approved, lab-verified tools.

  2. Healthcare providers and insurers 'shall not use artificial intelligence in the delivery of healthcare services or for the generation of medical records' (§ 17-80-123(b))
  3. Exception only for AI that is both approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and verified by a quality assurance laboratory (§ 17-80-123(b))
  4. The text states no penalties, enforcement mechanism or effective date
  5. Withdrawn by author on April 14, 2025
