State AI legislation roundup
Connecticut lawmakers adjourned after passing SB 5, which the Transparency Coalition described as one of the nation's most comprehensive AI measures and as covering AI-system and chatbot requirements, subscription-based AI consumer disclosures, frontier-developer safety obligations, chatbot safeguards for minors, and AI-generated-material labeling requirements.[1] The bill had passed the Connecticut Senate on April 21 and the House on May 1, and it was sent to Gov. Ned Lamont, who had previously indicated that he would sign it.[1]
Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp signed two AI-related bills after the legislature adjourned: SB 540, described by the Transparency Coalition as a chatbot disclosure and child-safety bill, and a separate AI medical-approval bill.[1] Hawaii lawmakers sent AI disclosure and deepfake bills to the governor, while Colorado lawmakers sent four AI bills to the governor before adjourning on May 14.[1]
California lawmakers also moved most, but not all, AI-related bills out of suspense, showing continued late-session activity around AI transparency, synthetic media, and sector-specific governance.[1]
