In the week ending April 13, three states advanced AI legislation: Nebraska's Conversational AI Safety Act (LB 525) requires chatbots to disclose they are AI to minors and prohibits representing AI as a mental health professional; Maryland's HB 895 passed pricing regulation for AI systems; and Maine passed a bill prohibiting unlicensed AI-delivered therapy or psychotherapy services. Nebraska's bill is on final reading before the legislature adjourns April 17. The pace signals a rapid acceleration of state-level AI governance.
