- January 1, 2026EffectiveTexas TRAIGA Takes Effect January 1, 2026The enrolled text of House Bill 149 states that TRAIGA takes effect January 1, 2026. The Act creates Texas Business and Commerce Code Chapters 551 through 554, with Texas Attorney General enforcement, a notice-and-cure process, tiered civil penalties, a complaint mechanism, a regulatory sandbox, and the Texas Artificial Intelligence Council.
- January 1, 2026EffectiveThree California AI Laws Take Effect SimultaneouslyOn January 1, 2026 three California AI laws became effective: SB 942 (AI Transparency Act — covered providers must offer detection tools and apply latent disclosures); AB 2013 (training data transparency — developers must publicly post training data summaries); and SB 53 (frontier AI transparency). Combined, these laws make California the most ambitious U.S. AI-regulating jurisdiction by scope, though enforcement focus is expected to begin gradually.
- January 1, 2026EffectiveIllinois HB 3773 Effective — AI in Employment Now an IHRA Civil Rights IssueIllinois HB 3773 took effect January 1, 2026. The amendment to the Illinois Human Rights Act treats AI-driven employment discrimination as a civil rights violation enforceable through the Illinois Department of Human Rights complaint process. Employers using AI for recruitment, screening, promotion, or related decisions must provide notice and avoid disparate impact on protected classes.
- December 11, 2025PreemptionExecutive Order Targets State AI Law PreemptionThe White House issued an Executive Order titled "Ensuring a National Policy Framework for Artificial Intelligence" on December 11, 2025. The order directs the Attorney General to establish an AI Litigation Task Force, directs Commerce to evaluate state AI laws that may conflict with federal policy, and calls for legislative recommendations for a federal AI framework that preempts conflicting state AI laws. The order does not itself nullify state laws; it directs federal-agency action and future challenges.
- September 29, 2025EnactmentCalifornia Signs SB 53 — Frontier AI Transparency ActGovernor Gavin Newsom signed Senate Bill 53, the Transparency in Frontier Artificial Intelligence Act, on September 29, 2025.
