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 2026-01-01 · provision verified 2026-10-05
HB 149 establishes specific AI disclosures and prohibited uses. Government agencies interacting with consumers have disclosure duties; healthcare providers have a separate timing rule. The act addresses specified harmful uses, government social scoring, administration, and enforcement.
Texas combines actor-specific notice with substantive prohibitions. Disclosure scope matters: the government interaction provision should not be read as a general notice requirement for every private business. Product review should separately identify the actor, prohibited conduct, and applicable exceptions.
Complete agency implementation, enforcement, rulemaking, government procurement, and 2026 session searches. 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.
