What it means for business
None yet: the bill is pending. If enacted, facilities using AI for clinical decision making would have to disclose it to patients, follow responsible-use rules and file annual compliance statements.
Key provisions
- Would require a facility to disclose to patients if AI-based algorithms are or will be used for clinical decision making or similar tasks, in all related written communications and on its website
- Would require AI-generated patient communications about clinical information to carry an AI disclaimer and instructions for contacting a human, unless purely administrative or individually read and reviewed by a human provider
- Would require that AI-based algorithms not supersede provider clinical decision making, not discriminate, be fairly applied, be periodically reviewed, not use patient data beyond the stated purpose and not create foreseeable material risks of harm to patients
- Would require a facility using AI for clinical decision making to file an annual AI compliance statement with the Department of Health describing function and scope, a logic or decision tree, training data sets and sources, an attestation of compliance and its oversight process
- Would require the department to issue an annual report compiling the statements in aggregated, deidentified form
- The chapter outline also lists enforcement and penalties and a plan of correction; the captured text ends before those sections and before the insurer and MA/CHIP chapters
- Referred to the Senate Institutional Sustainability & Innovation Committee on January 9, 2026
