In one paragraph

Oregon's HB 4153 (Chapter 44, Oregon Laws 2024) set up a 14-member Task Force on Artificial Intelligence to examine and identify AI terms and definitions that could be used in state legislation, starting from those used by the federal government and aligning with federal rules as closely as possible. The task force had to seek input from universities, consumer groups and businesses and report its recommended terms to the interim information management and technology committee by December 1, 2024. The act took effect when signed on March 27, 2024; the task force section was repealed on January 1, 2025.
