What it means for business

None: the bill died and never became law. It would have required chatbot deployers to keep human-like features and companion chatbots from minors, using reasonable age verification.

Key provisions

  1. Would require each deployer to ensure its generative AI chatbot does not make human-like features available to minors, and to implement reasonable age verification systems
  2. Would let a deployer, if reasonable given the chatbot's purpose, offer minors and non-verified users an alternative version without human-like features
  3. Would require deployers of AI companions that primarily function as companions to make them unavailable to minors and verify age
  4. Would allow therapeutic chatbots for minors only if they disclose at the start of each interaction that they are AI and not a licensed professional, are not marketed as a substitute, and are prescribed and monitored by a licensed mental health professional, among other conditions
  5. Per the title, would require systems to detect emergency situations, limit data collection to what does not conflict with a trusting party's best interest, and allow Attorney General action and a private right of action
  6. Referred to the Rules Committee February 3, 2026; died when the session ended May 14, 2026
