| == Preemption Details ==
| |
| | |
| The Framework advocates targeted federal preemption of state AI laws while preserving state roles in consumer protection, fraud, and child safety.<ref name="hklaw" /><ref name="wilmerhale" /> It builds on the December 2025 Executive Order and the July 2025 AI Action Plan.<ref name="hklaw" />
| |
| | |
| == Context ==
| |
| | |
| The Framework emerged alongside Senator Marsha Blackburn's TRUMP AMERICA AI Act discussion draft, with which it aligns on many issues but diverges on others.<ref name="hklaw" /><ref name="lw">{{cite web |url=https://www.lw.com/en/insights/trump-administration-takes-major-steps-toward-comprehensive-federal-ai-regulation |title=Trump Administration Takes Major Steps Toward Comprehensive Federal AI Regulation |publisher=Latham & Watkins |date=March 2026 |accessdate=April 7, 2026}}</ref> The Commerce Department has been tasked with assessing "onerous" state AI laws — including Colorado's AI Act (effective June 2026), California's SB 53 and AB 2013, and New York's RAISE Act — for potential conflicts with federal policy.<ref name="hklaw" /><ref name="lw" />
