In one paragraph

Section 11.25 of the Budget Act of 2025 (Artificial Intelligence Projects in State Departments) states the Legislature's intent that the workforce, fiscal, environmental, privacy, and policy effects of state generative AI projects be discussed publicly. It provides that no state fiscal or personnel resources may be spent implementing or maintaining generative AI projects in departments under the Governor's control unless the proposals were approved in the Budget Act or another statute. Projects in operation or development as of July 1, 2025 and projects responding to a declared state of emergency are excluded. Section 11.25 was amended the same day by AB 102 (Chapter 5, Statutes of 2025).
