Generative AI Limitations Warning

Pending further action

Current referral
House Rules

Generative AI systems would have to display a warning about their limitations; this proposal does not require a human-versus-AI chatbot disclosure.

What it does

Would require the owner, licensee, or operator of a generative AI system to display a conspicuous warning on its user interface about the system's limitations. Each day without the warning would be a separate violation under the Consumer Fraud and Deceptive Business Practices Act.

Analyst read

As of September 23, 2026, the ILGA record lists March 27 re-referral to House Rules as the last action. After its March 18 assignment to the Consumer Protection Committee, the recorded history shows no committee vote or House floor action. The proposal would require a conspicuous user-interface warning about the limitations of generative AI systems; it is not an enacted requirement. The record does not indicate whether it will be revived or incorporated into another bill.

Enforcement

Proposed consumer-fraud enforcement, with each day of noncompliance treated as a separate violation
