Analyst read
The Senate re-referred SB 3601 to Assignments under Rule 3-9(a) on May 22, 2026, after extending its committee and third-reading deadline. It did not clear committee or receive a floor vote during the spring session. The proposed AI disclosure duty for licensed professionals and its civil penalty are not operative law.
Enforcement
Up to $2,500/offense
