If a business uses an AI chatbot to deal with you in commerce, it has to tell you up front that you're talking to an automated system — not a person. Passed both chambers; awaiting the Governor's signature.
What it does
Requires a person who uses an AI chat interface in connection with trade or commerce to clearly disclose to consumers, at the start of the interaction, that they are communicating with an automated system rather than a human. Requires repeat disclosure during ongoing conversations and bars chatbots directed at minors from generating sexually explicit content.
Analyst read
Delivers the chatbot-disclosure transparency that circulated this session as HB 3021 (Consumer Fraud — AI Deception), which stalled in the House. As of July 31, 2026 it remains awaiting gubernatorial action, within the constitutional 60-day window — no signing or veto has been reported.
Enforcement
Enforced as a consumer-protection violation
