What this law does
Drafted with AI from the cited sources under the direction of UnGovr staff. UnGovr holds editorial responsibility for this page.
This measure was vetoed and binds nobody; what follows is what it would have required. HB 2094 would have created requirements for the development, deployment, and use of high-risk artificial intelligence systems, defined in the bill, with civil penalties for noncompliance enforced by the Attorney General, and a delayed effective date of July 1, 2026.
It passed the House and Senate, but the Governor vetoed it on March 24, 2025, and the House sustained that veto on April 2, 2025, so the bill never became law. No 2026 successor of comparable scope has been enacted.
