In one paragraph
Idaho's H 945 (2026) would have enacted the AI Medical Services Act (new Title 54, chapter 60), creating an 11-member Board of Autonomous Medical Practice to license 'artificial intelligence augmented and autonomous service providers' (AAASPs) that deliver certain clinical AI services. New licenses would have been provisional for up to two years. L2 and L3 licensees would have owed patient disclosures and a duty of loyalty, and the board could have fined violators up to $10,000 per count or offense. It was introduced March 25, 2026, and then reported printed and referred to the Business Committee (undated), with no later action.

What it means for business
No duties for businesses because the bill did not pass. Had it become law, clinical AI developers would have needed a state license before offering covered services in Idaho.
