Buried 291 pages into the 1,116-page bill as passed out of committee, Section 43201© describes a 10-year moratorium on state-level enforcement of “any law or regulation regulating artificial intelligence models, artificial intelligence systems, or automated decision systems.”

Exceptions to the rule are few, and only allow for state-level rules that “remove legal impediments” to operating AI systems and streamlining their adoption. State laws that impose any substantive restrictions or requirements on AI models will be considered unenforceable under the decade-long moratorium.
