Businesses using chatbots that try to pass as human would commit consumer fraud unless they disclose clearly that the user is talking to AI.

What it does

Amends Consumer Fraud Act to prohibit businesses from deploying chatbots or AI agents that mislead consumers into believing they are communicating with a human without clear and conspicuous disclosure.

Analyst read

UPDATE (June 2026): HB 3021 stalled in the House, but its chatbot-disclosure objective was delivered by SB 317 (Consumer AI Notice Act), which passed both chambers and was sent to the Governor on June 1, 2026. Original analysis: the bill was revived in Feb 2026 with unanimous Rules approval, but the sponsor never called it for a 3rd-reading vote before the Apr 4 House deadline — a typical ‘parked’ pattern during negotiation with the Attorney General’s office or industry.
