Pennsylvania lawmakers adopted a resolution asking the US Congress to not pass any federal law that would stop states from making their own AI rules. This is a resolution, not a law, so it does not create any new requirements for businesses. It mainly signals that Pennsylvania wants to keep the power to regulate AI itself. There is nothing a business needs to do right now. Source

New Jersey lawmakers introduced a bill that would put a 10 percent tax on computer processing used for certain AI systems. The money raised would go into a fund meant to help workers affected by AI. This bill is only introduced and has just been referred to a Senate committee, so it is not law. It does not appear to involve telling customers they are dealing with AI, labeling AI content, or AI voice calls, so it is not directly relevant to BotNotice's usual topics. Source

New Jersey lawmakers introduced a bill, S 4754, that would expand current rules against practicing certain licensed professions without a license to also cover content made by or with the help of AI. This could affect businesses that use AI to generate work that looks like advice or output from a licensed professional, such as legal, medical, or financial content. The bill was just introduced and referred to committee, so it is not law yet. There is nothing to do right now, but it is worth watching since the bill does not yet specify exact requirements.

Pennsylvania lawmakers introduced HB 2829, which would create standards and transparency rules for companies that build large, frontier-level AI systems. It also gives the state emergency management agency and attorney general some role in enforcing these rules, with penalties for violations. This bill is aimed at big AI model developers, not typical small businesses using chatbots or AI tools. It was just referred to a House committee, so it is still early and not law yet, and there is nothing to do right now. Source

New Jersey lawmakers introduced a bill that would require companies running AI companion chatbots to tell users they are talking to AI, not a person. This is just introduced and was sent to a Senate committee, so it is far from becoming law. If you use an AI companion-style chatbot with customers, there is nothing to do right now, but it is worth watching. The bill does not yet spell out exact wording requirements or penalties. Source

New York lawmakers introduced the FOCUS Act, which would limit how schools use internet-connected devices in classrooms. It would ban social media, gaming, and AI on school-issued devices for students, and require education technology providers to register. This mainly affects schools and companies that sell technology to schools, not typical small businesses using chatbots or AI with customers. The bill was just referred to committee, so nothing is required right now. Source
