A bounded reference to selected enacted measures and their limits, updated October 5, 2026. Provision verification dates appear separately from this analysis date.
In force since 2026-07-01 · provision verified 2026-10-05
Section 7.39 of Session Law 2026-41 directs public-school AI policy development and implementation. It includes a December 31, 2026 model-policy deadline and a June 30, 2027 deadline for covered school governing bodies’ policies, with later training and instructional milestones.
North Carolina establishes a sequence of state and local education duties. An enacted policy-development obligation is different from a completed school policy or verified training program. Future deadlines remain visible without implying that implementation has already occurred.
Verify all effective clauses and covered entities, implementation and tool lists, earlier executive action, later bills, and litigation. Selected current and concluded bills, agency rules, enforcement, and litigation have not been comprehensively screened. An omitted measure is not a finding that no relevant law exists.
This update expands the existing selected-law baseline using official legislative texts, codification, bill histories, and agency material. It distinguishes the act’s effective date from later duties and does not infer implementation from the passage of a deadline.
The analysis date is not a new verification date for every provision. Earlier dates remain where final text or date evidence was inaccessible. Only the separately identified in-force records enter the national export; proposed, future, and uncertain measures are excluded.
