AI transparency laws require organizations to disclose when artificial intelligence is being used, what data is collected, how decisions are made, and what rights consumers have. These laws are foundational to the broader AI accountability movement.
Artificial Intelligence Safety Measures Act
Illinois' Artificial Intelligence Safety Measures Act regulates developers of frontier AI models (trained with more than 10^26 operations), with most duties on large frontier developers, those with over $500 million in annual gross revenue with affiliates. From January 1, 2027 large frontier developers need a current disclosure statement on file with the state to develop, deploy or operate a frontier model in Illinois; from January 1, 2028 they must publish and follow a frontier AI safety framework and undergo annual independent audits.
Advertisement claims: health-related consumer products and services: digital replicas and synthetic performers.
SB1146 mandates disclosures for AI-generated health-related ads, but specific requirements, exemptions, and remedies need verification from the bill text.
Prohibit Surveillance Price & Wage Setting
Colorado's HB 26-1210 would have banned individualized price and wage setting: using an algorithm that applies statistical modeling, data analytics, AI or similar techniques to surveillance data about a person's characteristics, online behavior or biometrics, as more than a de minimis factor in the price offered to a consumer or the wage offered to a worker. Cost-based, supply-and-demand, public-discount, loyalty and need-based pricing, consumer-report credit refusals, and wages based solely on seniority or hired-for tasks and performance with plain-language disclosure, would have been allowed. Violations would have been deceptive trade practices. Vetoed by the Governor on June 2, 2026.
Relating to a study on employer and state agency use of automated employment decision tools in assessing an applicant's suitability for a position.
The bill mandates a study on the use of AI in hiring by employers and state agencies to assess bias and transparency.
Relating to the disclosure of information with regard to artificial intelligence.
SB668 mandates disclosure of AI model information for businesses with over $100 billion in revenue using AI in Texas.

Relating to the use of artificial intelligence by health care providers.
This bill regulates the use of artificial intelligence by health care providers in Texas, requiring disclosure and responsible use.
No Adversarial AI Act
The No Adversarial AI Act would have the Federal Acquisition Security Council list AI produced or developed by a foreign adversary within 60 days of enactment; OMB would publish the list within 180 days and the Council would update it at least every 180 days. Within 90 days, executive agencies would have to review and consider excluding and removing AI from listed foreign adversary entities, using their supply-chain authority under 41 U.S.C. 4713. Agency heads could approve exceptions, with notice to OMB and Congress, for research, testing, counterterrorism or counterintelligence, or mission-critical functions. Introduced June 25, 2025.
False advertising: synthetic performers.
California makes it unlawful to create and cause to be published an advertisement that prominently includes a synthetic performer without a clear and conspicuous disclosure. A synthetic performer is a generative-AI figure, voice or representation that realistically appears to be a human performer but is not recognizable as any identifiable person. Ads for expressive works such as films, TV, streaming content and video games are exempt if the performer is used as it is in the work, as are ads where AI is used solely for translation or accessibility. Takes effect January 1, 2027.
Real estate: digitally altered images: disclosure.
California real estate brokers and salespeople, and people acting for them, who use a digitally altered image in advertising a property for sale must include a conspicuous statement that the image was altered and a link, URL or QR code to the original. Postings on websites they control must also include the unaltered image or a link to it. The law covers edits made with photo-editing software or AI that add, remove or change elements; routine adjustments such as lighting, color correction and cropping are excluded. Took effect January 1, 2026.
Elections: deceptive media in advertisements.
AB 2839 bars knowingly distributing, with malice, election communications containing materially deceptive digitally created or altered content about candidates, elected officials, elections officials or election equipment in the 120 days before a California election and, for some content, 60 days after. A federal court preliminarily enjoined it in October 2024 and, in August 2025, held it unconstitutional and permanently barred enforcement against the plaintiffs in Kohls v. Bonta.
Information Technology Act Amendments
Utah requires election communications containing synthetic media (audio, images or video substantially produced by generative AI) to carry set disclosures such as 'Contains content generated by AI', with a civil penalty of up to $1,000 per violation. The act also lets the intentional or knowing use and material assistance of an AI system in a crime be treated as an aggravating factor. The election rules took effect May 1, 2024; the sentencing provision took effect July 1, 2024.
Artificial Intelligence Amendments
Utah's Artificial Intelligence Policy Act created the state's Office of Artificial Intelligence Policy and an AI Learning Laboratory that can offer participants regulatory mitigation agreements, and required disclosure of generative AI use in consumer interactions and regulated occupations. Those disclosure rules were later replaced by SB 226 (2025). Took effect May 1, 2024.
Election communications; prohibition; deep fakes
This bill prohibits the distribution of deceptive deepfakes related to candidates or political parties within 90 days of an election, requiring disclosures.
Relating to artificial intelligence companions.
Oregon requires operators of AI companion platforms to tell users clearly that they are interacting with artificial output when a reasonable person would believe they were talking to a human, to keep and publish protocols that detect suicidal or self-harm ideation and refer users to crisis resources such as 988, and to add safeguards when the operator knows or has reason to believe a user is a minor. Operators must publish annual reports on crisis referrals, and people harmed can sue. Signed March 31, 2026; takes effect January 1, 2027.
Artificial intelligence; prohibiting distribution of certain media and requiring certain disclosures. Effective date.
Fair and Future Ready Housing Act; enact
The Fair and Future Ready Housing Act addresses AI use in housing, requiring oversight, disclosures, and repealing conflicting laws to prevent discrimination.
AI Grand Challenges Act of 2026
The AI Grand Challenges Act would have the National Science Foundation set up an AI Grand Challenges Program within 12 months of enactment, awarding cash prizes of at least $1 million per winner for AI research that solves well-defined challenges in areas such as national security, cybersecurity, health, energy, agriculture, education, manufacturing and AI safety and transparency. At least one challenge must target AI-enabled cancer breakthroughs, with at least $10 million to each winner. Winners must be U.S.-based businesses or U.S. citizens or permanent residents. Introduced February 9, 2026.
VET Artificial Intelligence Act Validation and Evaluation for Trustworthy (VET) Artificial Intelligence Act
The VET AI Act would direct NIST to develop, within a year and update at least every 2 years, voluntary technical guidelines for internal and independent third-party assurance of AI systems: testing, evaluating, verifying and validating them. The guidelines would address consumer privacy, assessing and reducing harms, dataset quality, documentation and disclosure, and governance, and recommend how often and how deeply developers and deployers should be assessed based on risk. Commerce would convene an advisory committee on assessor qualifications and study the capacity of the AI assurance sector. Introduced July 31, 2025.
An Act to Regulate the Use of Artificial Intelligence in Providing Certain Mental Health Services
LD2082 regulates AI in mental health services in Maine. The bill mandates transparency, data privacy, and ethical standards for AI applications.
Enacting the Kansas age-appropriate design code act to require businesses to assess and mitigate risks of compulsive use in minors; enacting the Kansas stopping likeness abuse by nonconsensual digital replicas act to create a private right of action for the unauthorized digital replication and…
Not law. HB 2772 would have enacted three Kansas acts. An Age-Appropriate Design Code Act would have required online businesses likely to be used by minors to assess designs for the risk of compulsive use, use the lowest-risk design by default, give minors the highest privacy settings, and limit data collection. A digital-replica act would have let people sue over digital replicas of their likeness made without consent. A chatbot act would have required chatbots to say they are not human, limited the use of chat logs, and made providers liable for injuries their chatbots cause. It died in the House Federal and State Affairs Committee on April 10, 2026.

Not law. SB 499, the Senate twin of HB 2772, would have enacted three Kansas acts. An Age-Appropriate Design Code Act would have required online businesses likely to be used by minors to assess designs for the risk of compulsive use, use the lowest-risk design by default, give minors the highest privacy settings, and limit data collection. A digital-replica act would have let people sue over replicas of their likeness made without consent. A chatbot act would have required chatbots to say they are not human, limited the use of chat logs, and made providers liable for injuries their chatbots cause. It died in the Senate Federal and State Affairs Committee on April 10, 2026.
Ban on employer use of automated decision systems.
Not law. HB 1421 would have barred Indiana employers with 11 or more workers, and state and local government employers, from relying solely on an automated decision system for hiring, firing, pay, scheduling or other job decisions. Using such a system's output would have required bias testing before use and independent testing every year, advance notice to workers and applicants, human review, plain-language documentation within 7 days, and a right to dispute and appeal to a person. Workers could opt out of algorithmic management. It was referred to committee on January 8, 2026 and got no further action before the 2026 session adjourned.
AN ACT relating to artificial intelligence and declaring an emergency.
Not law. As passed by the House 88-7 on February 23, 2026, HB 455 would have barred anyone from providing or advertising therapy or psychotherapy in Kentucky, including through internet-based AI, unless a licensed professional performs it. Licensed therapists could have used AI only for administrative and supplementary support such as scheduling, billing and notes, with written notice and consent before using AI on recorded sessions, and AI could not make therapeutic decisions or treatment plans without their approval. Fines up to $10,000 per violation. It reached the Senate but got no further action before the 2026 regular session ended.
Creates a consumer bill of rights regarding artificial intelligence
Not law. HB 734 would have created a Louisiana AI bill of rights. Companion chatbot platforms would have needed a parent's consent for minors' accounts, with parental controls and self-harm alerts, AI disclosures and hourly break reminders for minors, and safeguards against material harmful to minors. Any bot would have had to show an hourly pop-up saying the user is not talking to a human. It also would have barred AI companies from selling personal data unless deidentified, banned commercial use of AI-generated likenesses without consent, and limited state AI contracts with entities tied to foreign countries of concern. It was withdrawn on March 30, 2026.
Use Of Artificial Intelligence Transparency
AN ACT to amend Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 2, Chapter 19, relative to the Transparency for Deepfakes in Political Advertising Act.
Tennessee's Transparency for Deepfakes in Political Advertising Act (Public Chapter 625) requires political ads that contain a deepfake of a candidate to say so. Audio impersonating a candidate must state at the start and end that it contains fake content; video must show a large notice for its full length. For non-incumbents, the rule covers ads distributed within 120 days before voting begins. Platforms, internet providers and paid broadcasters are not liable unless they created the deepfake. Depicted candidates can seek damages and equitable relief, and violations are a Class C misdemeanor. Effective July 1, 2026.
AN ACT to amend Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 2, Chapter 19, relative to the Transparency for Deepfakes in Political Advertising Act.
SB 1624 is the Senate companion of HB 1513, which became Tennessee Public Chapter 625 after the Senate passed the House bill in its place on March 12, 2026. The law requires political ads that contain a deepfake of a candidate to say so: audio must state at the start and end that it contains fake content, and video must show a large notice for its full length. For non-incumbents, it covers ads within 120 days before voting begins. Platforms and paid broadcasters are not liable unless they created the deepfake; violations are a Class C misdemeanor. Effective July 1, 2026.
Establishes Artificial Intelligence Ethics Board in DOLWD.
A 2478 would create a seven-member Artificial Intelligence Ethics Board in New Jersey's Department of Labor and Workforce Development to oversee the sale and use of AI technology, with a focus on bias prevention, privacy, transparency and accountability. Anyone selling or offering an AI product or service in the state would first need an independent AI impact assessment, done within the prior year and meeting the board's standards on privacy and job displacement. The board would also recommend protections for workers displaced by AI, such as a month's notice, retraining and severance. Pending in the Assembly Science, Innovation and Technology Committee.
Crimes and offenses; obscenity; repeal and replace Code Section 16-12-80
Not law. HB 171 passed the Georgia House 160-0 in February 2025. Its final Senate Rules Committee substitute (March 27, 2026), the Ensuring Accountability for Illegal AI Activities Act, would have made it a felony (1 to 15 years) to knowingly create, distribute, solicit or possess for distribution AI-generated visual material harmful to minors, even if no real child is shown. It would also have added longer sentences when a defendant knowingly used AI to commit offenses such as stalking, elder exploitation, child enticement, theft, fraud or election interference. It never got a Senate floor vote before the 2025-2026 session ended.
Deceptive and fraudulent deepfake media in elections
Not law. H 3517 would have barred anyone from distributing, within 90 days of an election, synthetic media they knew or should have known was a deceptive and fraudulent deepfake of a candidate on the ballot, unless it carried a disclosure that it was manipulated or generated by AI. Depicted candidates could have sought injunctions and damages; violations would have been a misdemeanor (up to 90 days or $500), and a felony for a repeat offense within five years. News coverage, paid broadcasters acting in good faith and satire were exempt. It never left the House Judiciary Committee before South Carolina's 2026 regular session ended.
Mental health professionals: artificial intelligence.
Vetoed. SB 903, the Wellness and Oversight for Psychological Resources Act, would have limited AI in California psychotherapy to administrative and supplementary support. Recording or transcribing sessions, or AI triage, would have needed the patient's informed consent, and AI could not make therapeutic decisions, produce diagnoses or treatment plans, detect emotions or screen patients without a licensed professional's review. Companion chatbots could not be marketed as therapy. Governor Newsom vetoed it on September 30, 2026, calling it overly broad and saying it would restrict useful clinical tools and reach general-purpose AI.
Artificial intelligence disclosure statements.
North Dakota requires a disclaimer on political content made with AI to impersonate a person. Any communication or advertising for a political purpose (supporting or opposing a candidate, political committee or party, or an initiated or referred measure or petition) that contains images, graphics, video, audio, text or other digital content created in whole or in part with AI to visually or audibly impersonate a human must prominently state: 'THIS CONTENT GENERATED BY ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE.' AI used only for text generation, grammar, spelling or editing that creates no new impersonation is exempt. Signed April 10, 2025; effective August 1, 2025.
Ending FCC Meddling in Our Elections Act
This bill prohibits the FCC from regulating the disclosure of AI-generated content in political ads, aiming to limit federal oversight in elections.
Companion chatbots: children’s safety.
California's SB 1119, "Adam's Law," sets child-safety rules for companion chatbots. Operators must determine users' ages under the Digital Age Assurance Act or give every user the child protections. From July 1, 2027, operators that allow children must assess risks before releasing new or substantially modified chatbots, publish a child safety policy, and provide crisis protocols, parent-only default settings, parental controls, AI notices and limits on ads and data use. Independent audits follow. Civil penalties reach $15,000 per affected child. Signed September 10, 2026 (Chapter 190); effective January 1, 2027, with most duties operative July 1, 2027.
State Bar of California: artificial intelligence.
California's AB 1651 (Bus. & Prof. Code § 6060.15) requires the State Bar of California to disclose when it uses AI-generated content in material it develops or explicitly directs. Use in developing or administering the general bar exam, the first-year law students' exam or the attorneys' exam, including questions, performance tests, answer keys and scoring rubrics, must be posted on its website 60 days before the exam; use in study materials it prepares, publishes, endorses or distributes for applicants must be disclosed on the cover page. Human review does not remove the duty. Signed August 22, 2026 (Chapter 116); operative January 1, 2028.
Employment: automated decision systems.
Vetoed. California's SB 7 would have regulated employers' use of automated decision systems (ADS) such as AI tools in employment decisions. Employers would have had to give workers written notice at least 30 days before deploying an ADS for decisions other than hiring (by April 1, 2026 for systems already in use), tell applicants when one is used in hiring, not rely solely on an ADS to discipline, fire or deactivate workers, use a human reviewer when relying primarily on one, and give a post-use notice, with a $500 civil penalty. Vetoed by Governor Newsom October 13, 2025; veto sustained March 2, 2026. A later bill, SB 947, was signed in 2026 (Chapter 859).
Companion chatbots.
California's SB 243 regulates companion chatbots, AI systems that give adaptive, human-like responses and can meet a user's social needs. Operators must disclose that the chatbot is AI if a reasonable person would be misled to think it is human, keep and publish a protocol against suicide and self-harm content with crisis referrals, and warn that companion chatbots may not suit some minors. Known minors get AI disclosures, break reminders at least every three hours and sexual-content safeguards (deleted January 1, 2027 by SB 1119). Annual reports to the Office of Suicide Prevention start July 1, 2027. Injured persons may sue. Signed October 13, 2025 (Chapter 677); effective January 1, 2026.
California AI Transparency Act.
California's AB 853 amended the California AI Transparency Act (SB 942 of 2024), moving its operative date from January 1, 2026 to August 2, 2026. From January 1, 2027, large online platforms (over 2,000,000 monthly users) must detect provenance data, show whether content was generated or substantially altered by GenAI or captured by a device, and, where feasible, not knowingly strip it; GenAI hosting sites may not knowingly offer noncompliant systems. From 2028, new capture devices must embed latent disclosures by default where feasible. $5,000 per violation. Amended by AB 2713 and SB 1000 (Chapters 856, 861 of 2026). Signed October 13, 2025 (Chapter 674); effective January 1, 2026.
Artificial intelligence models: large developers.
California's SB 53, the Transparency in Frontier Artificial Intelligence Act, covers developers of frontier models (foundation models trained with more than 10^26 operations). Large frontier developers (over $500 million in prior-year revenue with affiliates) must publish and follow a frontier AI framework for catastrophic risks. All frontier developers must publish transparency reports at deployment, report critical safety incidents to the Office of Emergency Services within 15 days, and not retaliate against whistleblowers. Large developers face penalties up to $1 million per violation. Signed September 29, 2025 (Chapter 138); effective January 1, 2026.
Public contracts: automated decision systems: procurement standards.
Vetoed. California's SB 892 (2024) would have required the Department of Technology to adopt regulations setting a procurement standard for automated decision systems (ADS), with risk assessments, risk controls, incident monitoring, prohibited uses, equity and human-oversight reviews and data minimization. From January 1, 2027, state agencies could not have bought ADS until those rules existed, and contracts would have needed risk-assessment and notice-and-appeal clauses. Governor Newsom vetoed it September 20, 2024, saying it would disrupt existing work and create unbudgeted General Fund costs.
Political Reform Act of 1974: political advertisements: artificial intelligence.
California's AB 2355 adds Government Code § 84514 to the Political Reform Act. A committee that creates, originally publishes or originally distributes a political ad containing images, audio or video generated or substantially altered using AI must include, clearly and conspicuously, "Ad generated or substantially altered using artificial intelligence." The statement goes where the Act's rules place ad disclosures for radio, video, print and online ads. The Fair Political Practices Commission may seek an injunction or use its administrative and civil remedies; a violation is not a misdemeanor. Signed September 17, 2024 (Chapter 260); effective January 1, 2025.
An Act To Amend Titles 10 And 11 Of The Delaware Code Relating To Deep Fakes.
This Act provides civil and criminal remedies for wrongful disclosure of deep fakes depicting individuals in sexual contexts, with increased penalties for adults creating depictions of minors.
Public employment: local public transit agencies: autonomous transit vehicle technology.
Vetoed. California's AB 2441 (2022) would have required local public transit employers to give the affected workforce's exclusive employee representative written notice at least 12 months before starting any procurement process or plan to acquire or deploy autonomous transit vehicle technology that eliminates job functions or jobs. On request, they would have had to provide an analysis of the effects on workers, skill gaps and training budgets, then bargain over the technology, a transition plan and retraining. Governor Newsom vetoed it September 29, 2022. A 10-month-notice version, AB 96, was enacted in 2023 (Chapter 419).
Elections: deceptive media in advertisements.
California's AB 502 rewrites Elections Code § 20012 on deceptive election deepfakes. No one may, with malice, knowingly distribute an ad or election communication with materially deceptive content (intentionally digitally created or altered media, such as deepfakes, that falsely appears authentic) of a California candidate or elected official, if material to voters or to election confidence, in the 30 days before an election, or of an elections official or voting equipment from 30 days before to 38 days after. Recognizable satire is exempt. Those depicted, candidates, committees and elections officials may sue. Urgency statute signed September 19, 2026 (Chapter 333); effective immediately.
Automated decision systems.
CA AB1018: Automated decision systems must comply with new regulations, including specific transparency and accountability measures, impact assessments, and documentation requirements.
Artificial intelligence: transparency and governance.
California's SB 1159 makes clear that AI systems, autonomous agents, robots and other nonhuman entities are not 'persons' or 'members of the public' who can engage with government under the Public Records Act, the open-meeting laws, the Legislative Open Records Act, the Administrative Procedure Act, the Coastal Act and CEQA. People may still use AI or assistive technology for their own participation at an ordinary volume. Agencies may use AI detection tools, and knowingly using AI to falsely represent that a natural person engaged with an agency is banned. Signed September 30, 2026 (Chapter 863); effective January 1, 2027.
SCH CD-ASL IMPLEMENTATION
Illinois' Public Act 104-0399 (SB 1920) amends the School Code. New Section 2-3.118a requires the State Board of Education, with stakeholders, to develop and publish statewide guidance on AI in K-12 education by July 1, 2026, covering AI concepts, uses that preserve human relationships, bias, privacy, transparency, student-data privacy laws, AI literacy and special populations; the State Superintendent may convene an AI council. It also adds AI-created false depictions, including sexually explicit images and videos, to the recommended internet-safety topic on cyber-bullying. Its sign-language and educator-test parts do not involve AI. Approved August 15, 2025; effective January 1, 2026.
THERAPY RESOURCES OVERSIGHT
Illinois' Public Act 104-0054 (HB 1806) creates the Wellness and Oversight for Psychological Resources Act. No one may provide, advertise or offer therapy or psychotherapy services to the public in Illinois, including through Internet-based AI, unless a licensed professional conducts them. Licensed professionals may use AI only for administrative and supplementary support, need written notice and consent for supplementary-support AI on recorded or transcribed sessions, and may not let AI make independent therapeutic decisions, communicate therapeutically with clients or detect emotions or mental states. Civil penalties up to $10,000 per violation. Approved and effective August 1, 2025.
LIMIT PREDICTIVE ANALYTICS USE
Illinois' Public Act 103-0804 (HB 3773) amends the Illinois Human Rights Act. It is a civil rights violation for an employer to use artificial intelligence that has the effect of subjecting employees to discrimination on the basis of protected classes in recruitment, hiring, promotion, renewal of employment, selection for training or apprenticeship, discharge, discipline, tenure, or the terms, privileges or conditions of employment, or to use zip codes as a proxy for protected classes. Failing to notify employees that the employer uses AI for these purposes is also a violation; the Department of Human Rights must adopt rules on notice. Approved August 9, 2024; effective January 1, 2026.
Relates to the training and use of artificial intelligence frontier models; defines terms; establishes remedies for violations.
New York's RAISE Act (S 6953-B, Chapter 699 of 2025) as signed covered "large developers" spending over $100 million on compute, required safety protocols and set penalties up to $10 million, then $30 million. Chapter 96 of 2026 (signed March 27, 2026) repealed and replaced Article 44-B and set the effective date at January 1, 2027. From then, developers of frontier models (over 10^26 training operations) must publish transparency reports when deploying and report critical safety incidents to a Department of Financial Services office within 72 hours; those with over $500 million in revenue must also publish a frontier AI framework and file disclosure statements. Signed December 19, 2025.
Regulates automated decision-making by government agencies; requires agencies to conduct impact assessments; requires disclosure of automated decision-making tools utilized by governmental agencies.
New York's S 7599-C (Chapter 711 of 2025) added State Technology Law Article 5, under which agencies would have listed automated decision-making tools and done bias-tested impact assessments from December 19, 2026. Chapter 86 of 2026 repealed Article 5, which had not yet taken effect, and the § 103-f state tool inventory. Now in force: public employers' use of AI systems may not displace employees or impair collective bargaining, and (added by Chapter 86) local governments, school districts, BOCES, SUNY, CUNY and community colleges must, where feasible, list automated employment decision tools yearly from December 30, 2026. Signed December 19, 2025; expires July 1, 2028.

Protecting kids from deepfakes and exploitative images.
Wyoming's AI deepfake and child-protection law (Chapter 91, Session Laws of 2026, effective July 1, 2026). It makes it a felony to knowingly distribute realistic AI-generated or digitally altered intimate images of an identifiable person without consent when it causes or is meant to cause harm, or to threaten to do so for gain (up to 10 years; 12 for a repeat offense). Using AI to create child sexual abuse material, or knowingly possessing AI-generated material, is sexual exploitation of a child. Building or distributing AI systems designed to produce such material or to promote self-harm is a felony, and using AI is no defense to any crime.

Generative artificial intelligence: training data transparency.
California's AB 2013 (Civil Code §§ 3110-3111) requires developers of generative AI systems or services made publicly available to Californians, free or paid, to post documentation of their training data on their websites: by January 1, 2026 for systems released since January 1, 2022, and before each later release or substantial modification. The documentation summarizes the datasets, including sources, size, data types, and whether they contain copyrighted material or personal information or were bought or licensed. Signed September 28, 2024 (Chapter 817); took effect January 1, 2025, with first postings due January 1, 2026.
Relating to the regulation and use of artificial intelligence systems and the management of data by governmental entities.
Texas's SB 1964 sets rules for AI used by state agencies and local governments. The Department of Information Resources (DIR) must adopt an AI code of ethics and minimum risk-management standards for "heightened scrutiny" AI (systems specifically intended to autonomously make, or be a controlling factor in, consequential decisions on access to government services), aligned with NIST's AI RMF 1.0, which agencies and local governments must adopt. State agencies and their vendors must assess such systems for risks of unlawful harm, agencies must give notice of public-facing AI, and vendors that do not cure violations can lose contracts. Signed June 20, 2025; effective September 1, 2025.
Relating to criminal and civil liability related to sexually explicit media and artificial intimate visual material; creating a criminal offense; increasing a criminal penalty.
Texas's SB 441 widens the Penal Code § 21.165 crime from deep fake videos to any deep fake media made or altered with AI or other technological means. Knowingly producing or distributing sexually explicit deep fake media of a person without signed written consent is a Class A misdemeanor, or a third-degree felony for a repeat offense or a depicted minor. Intentionally threatening to produce or distribute deep fake media to coerce, extort, harass or intimidate is a new offense. It adds civil liability for AI intimate images, including against nudification app owners, and requires websites and apps to honor removal requests within 72 hours. Signed June 20, 2025; effective September 1, 2025.
Relating to user reports of explicit deep fake material on social media platforms.
Texas's HB 3133 adds explicit deep fake material to the complaint system that large social media platforms (over 50 million monthly active U.S. users) must run under Business & Commerce Code Chapter 120. On notice of explicit deep fake material, a platform must immediately confirm to the user that it is aware of it, remove it and known identical copies, and update the user in writing within seven days; if it finds the content is explicit deep fake material, it must take measures to stop it being reposted. Platforms must post a plain-language notice of the process. Any Chapter 120 violation is now a deceptive trade practice. Signed June 20, 2025; effective September 1, 2025.
Increase Transparency for Algorithmic Systems
Colorado's SB 25B-004, passed in the August 2025 special session, replaced every February 1, 2026 start date in the Colorado AI Act (SB 24-205, C.R.S. 6-1-1702 to 6-1-1704) with June 30, 2026. That moved developers' and deployers' reasonable-care, documentation, risk-program, impact-assessment, notice and reporting duties and the AI-interaction disclosure. It adds no new duties.

Colorado's HB 26-1263 regulates operators of conversational AI services: public AI systems that mainly simulate human conversation (customer-service, business and other listed uses excluded). From January 1, 2027, operators must tell users the service is AI (daily, every three hours or persistently, and when asked), run a suicide and self-harm protocol with crisis referrals, and not claim outputs come from or are endorsed by licensed health, legal or mental health professionals. For known minors they must also guard against sexual content and simulated romance, avoid unpredictable engagement rewards and offer privacy tools. Signed May 29, 2026 (Chapter 208); act effective August 12, 2026.

Membership grew from 15 to 26, and the focus widened from government use of facial recognition to protections for consumers and workers from AI and automated decision systems: definitions, transparency and disclosure rules, algorithmic discrimination, best practices and metrics, and facial recognition and biometric technology. It had to meet by September 1, 2024 and report by February 1, 2025, and is set to be repealed September 1, 2027. Signed June 6, 2024 (Chapter 467); effective on signature.
Data privacy; processing of data regulated, consumer actions related to data authorized
Alabama's HB 351, the Alabama Personal Data Protection Act, covers persons doing business in Alabama or targeting its residents that control or process personal data of over 25,000 consumers or get over 25% of gross revenue from selling it; businesses under 500 employees that do not sell personal data are exempt. Consumers may access, correct, delete and port data and opt out of targeted ads, data sales, and profiling in furtherance of solely automated significant decisions (e.g. credit, housing, employment). The Attorney General enforces it after notice and a 45-day cure period; civil penalties up to $15,000 per violation. Signed April 16, 2026 (Act 2026-552); effective May 1, 2027.

Secretary of State complaints bring civil penalties; candidates may sue for injunctions and damages. Qualifying news, satire and parody are exempt. Signed May 24, 2024 (Chapter 250); effective July 1, 2024.
Artificial Intelligence Facial Recognition
Colorado's SB 22-113 sets rules for facial recognition used by state agencies, local governments and state colleges: a notice of intent and public accountability report before use, vendor bias disclosures, testing and meaningful human review for decisions with legal or similarly significant effects, training and records. Police need a warrant or another listed basis for ongoing surveillance, real-time identification or tracking. It barred schools from new facial recognition contracts until July 1, 2025; SB 25-143 (2025) removed that end date. Its task force became the AI Impact Task Force (HB 24-1468), ending September 1, 2027. Signed June 8, 2022 (Chapter 463); effective August 10, 2022.

Requires covered businesses to annually report to the department of labor regarding the impact of artificial intelligence on hiring and the nature of artificial intelligence use
New York's A 9581-B passed both houses in June 2026 but has not been delivered to the Governor, so it is not law. If enacted, each covered business (one doing business in New York that employs more than 50 people or is publicly traded) would have to report to the Department of Labor by March 1 each year on AI's impact on its hiring in the prior calendar year (estimated employees displaced or with hours cut, hired or with hours added, and previously filled positions left unfilled, due in full or in part to AI) and on its AI use. Failing to report: up to $500 a day, waived or reduced if the commissioner is satisfied it was cured within 90 days of notice. It would take effect immediately.

Any clinical denial in which AI was a substantial factor would need review and approval by a provider with the same license as the ordering provider, or it would be invalid. Regulators would report yearly. The Senate passed a substitute on June 9, 2026.
Public employees: notice: artificial intelligence performing service within scope of work.
Vetoed. AB 2656 would have required California public employers to give a recognized employee organization at least 45 days' written notice before taking action to develop, purchase or require the use of generative AI to perform a service within the scope of work of a job classification it represents. Governor Newsom vetoed it on September 30, 2026, saying it would add redundant administrative layers for public agencies, slow even harmless tools, and that the issue is best handled through collective bargaining.

Artificial intelligence; definitions; requiring operators make certain disclosure; preventative measures for minor account holders; prohibitions; enforcement authority to Attorney General; civil penalty. Effective date.
Not law. SB 1521 would have required operators of public conversational AI services to tell minor users they are talking to AI, through a constantly visible disclaimer or at the start and every 30 minutes, prevent statements suggesting a human for minor accounts, offer minors no engagement rewards, never present the AI as providing professional mental health care, and refer users expressing suicidal ideation to crisis services. The Attorney General could seek $1,000 per violation, capped at $500,000 per company. The Senate (43-0) and House (90-0) passed different versions, but the Senate never voted on the House amendments, so it died with the session.

State-by-State Regulation of AI Transparency & Disclosure
Artificial intelligence regulation is advancing at the state level, and AI Transparency & Disclosure is one of the most actively legislated areas. State attorneys general, privacy regulators, and legislatures are developing a patchwork of laws that impose different obligations on businesses deploying AI systems related to this topic. Compliance teams and legal counsel must track both enacted laws and the pipeline of pending bills that could shift requirements at any time.
Key regulatory themes in AI Transparency & Disclosure legislation include consumer disclosure obligations, prohibition on specific high-risk uses, mandatory algorithmic impact assessments, bias audits, rights to explanation, and human override requirements. Penalties for non-compliance vary by state — use our Penalty Tracker to review enforcement provisions. For upcoming effective dates, see the Deadlines page.
