The Senate amendment to the Mass Wins bill, H5576, is printed as S3228. Its section 164 proposes a Transparency in Frontier Artificial Intelligence Act and chatbot-disclosure requirements. The Senate passed its amended version to be engrossed on July 24, 2026; the chambers appointed a conference committee on July 30 after the House declined to concur in the Senate amendment.<ref>[https://malegislature.gov/Bills/194/H5576 Massachusetts General Court, H5576, bill history, reviewed September 19, 2026.]</ref>

Under the Senate text, large frontier developers would publish safety frameworks and risk reports, obtain annual compliance audits, and arrange independent model evaluations at least every 120 days. Frontier developers would report critical safety incidents to the attorney general within 15 days of discovery; an incident posing an imminent risk of death or serious physical injury would require disclosure within 24 hours to an appropriate authority. The proposal also includes employee protections and attorney-general enforcement. Commercial entities deploying chatbots would disclose that users are interacting with a chatbot.<ref>[https://malegislature.gov/Bills/194/S3228/Senate/Amendment/Text Massachusetts General Court, S3228, Senate amendment, section 164, July 24, 2026.]</ref>
