Licensed professionals using AI tools with customers would have to disclose it clearly, with up to $2,500 in civil penalties per offense.
What it does
Mandates licensees clearly disclose when customers interact with AI rather than humans. Civil penalties up to $2,500 per offense. Amends consumer fraud statutes.
Analyst read
Stadelman is the sole sponsor and no co-sponsors have signed on through the entire hearings window — suggests this professional-licensee disclosure bill is duplicative of broader SB 3262/SB 3368 chatbot-disclosure language and will likely be folded into one of them rather than advancing on its own.
Enforcement
Up to $2,500/offense
