AI Disclosure & Labeling Laws

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 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 an automated employment decision tool by an employer to assess a job applicant's fitness for a position; imposing an administrative penalty.

This bill regulates the use of automated employment decision tools by employers, requiring disclosure, consent, and data destruction within 30 days.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Requires advertisements to disclose the use of a synthetic performer

New York requires advertisers to disclose when an ad contains a synthetic performer: a digital asset created or modified with generative AI or software to look like a human performer who is not any identifiable real person. Anyone who produces or creates an ad for goods or services, in any medium, must conspicuously disclose it if they actually know the synthetic performer is there. Penalties are $1,000 for a first violation and $5,000 for each later one. Audio ads, AI used only to translate a performer, and promos for films, shows or games that use the performer as the work does are exempt, as are the outlets that run ads. Signed December 11, 2025 (Chapter 617); effective June 9, 2026.

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.

AN ACT RELATING TO HEALTH AND SAFETY -- USE OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE BY HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS NOTIFICATION ACT

Rhode Island's Use of Artificial Intelligence by Healthcare Providers Notification Act requires healthcare providers (physicians, physician assistants, dentists, nurses, nursing assistants and other professionals licensed by the Department of Health) and healthcare facilities that use AI to document in-person or telehealth visits to tell patients that AI is being used for that purpose and to review the AI-generated documentation for accuracy after the visit. Signed and effective June 22, 2026.

Political campaign advertisements; synthetic media, penalty.

Vetoed. Virginia's SB 775 (2025) would have barred sponsoring an electioneering communication (a paid message naming a candidate, aimed at voters within 60 days of the election) containing synthetic media, meaning deceptively altered or AI-generated images or audio of an identifiable person, unless it conspicuously stated that it contains synthetic media that may present conduct or speech that did not occur. Violations would have carried civil penalties up to $25,000 and, if willful, a Class 1 misdemeanor; voters could have sued to stop the ads. Governor Youngkin vetoed it (the Senate received the veto March 25, 2025), and the Senate sustained the veto April 2, 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.

Mississippi Fully Autonomous Vehicle Enabling (MS FAVE) Act of 2023; establish to regulate operation of autonomous vehicle on public roads.

Mississippi's MS FAVE Act of 2023 lets fully autonomous vehicles run on public roads without a human driver if the system is engaged and the vehicle will reach a minimal risk condition if it fails, can obey traffic laws, and bears any federally required certification label. Operators must first file a law enforcement interaction plan and proof of insurance with the Department of Public Safety. The engaged system counts as the licensed driver; vehicles are registered and titled as autonomous; on-demand AV networks may operate; and state agencies and local governments cannot ban AVs or add AV-specific taxes, fees or rules. Effective July 1, 2023.

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.

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.

Defending Democracy from Deepfake Deception Act of 2024.

California's AB 2655, the Defending Democracy from Deepfake Deception Act of 2024, requires large online platforms (1M+ California users) to remove reported deepfakes of candidates, elections officials and elected officials within 72 hours during set periods around elections and to label other reported deceptive election content; candidates, officials and prosecutors may seek injunctions. Signed September 17, 2024 (Chapter 261); effective January 1, 2025. In August 2025 a federal court held it preempted by Section 230 and barred the Attorney General and Secretary of State from enforcing it against X and Rumble; they later agreed not to enforce it against any platform. California appealed.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Aggrieved candidates can sue; repeat violations become crimes. News coverage, satire, paid broadcasters and online platforms are exempt. Effective October 1, 2025.

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE – Adds to existing law to establish the Conversational AI Safety Act.

Idaho's Conversational AI Safety Act (Idaho Code Title 48, ch. 21) regulates public-facing AI chatbots that simulate human conversation.

For users they know or reasonably believe are minors, operators must show AI disclosures, avoid engagement rewards, block sexually explicit content, and prevent claims of sentience, emotional dependence and romantic role-play. The Attorney General enforces it. Effective July 1, 2027.

Political campaign advertisements; synthetic media, penalty.

Vetoed. Virginia's HB 2479 (2025) would have barred sponsoring an electioneering communication (a paid message naming a candidate, aimed at voters within 60 days of the election) containing synthetic media, meaning deceptively altered or AI-generated images or audio of an identifiable person, unless it conspicuously stated that it contains synthetic media that may present conduct or speech that did not occur. Violations would have carried civil penalties up to $25,000 and, if willful, a Class 1 misdemeanor; voters could have sued to stop the ads.

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.

AN ACT CONCERNING THE USE OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AND OTHER MEANS TO GENERATE DECEPTIVE SYNTHETIC MEDIA AND AFFECT ELECTIONS.

Did not pass. HB 5342 would have barred distributing deceptive synthetic media (AI-altered or fake images, audio or video of a person) within 90 days before a Connecticut election or primary, without the person's consent and with intent to injure a candidate or sway the result, unless it carried a 'manipulated' disclaimer. Violations would have been crimes, from a class C misdemeanor to a class D felony for repeat offenses, and the Attorney General, depicted people and candidates could have sued. It cleared two committees but never got a House vote; the page previously showed it as passed by one chamber.
