Health care services: artificial intelligence.

The act expands the Confidentiality of Medical Information Act to treat businesses that store or use medical data—including mental‑health apps, reproductive‑health apps and health‑care chatbots—as health‑care providers. It also mandates that hospitals, clinics and physicians’ offices using generative AI label AI‑generated messages, provide contact information for a human provider, and ensure a licensed professional makes the final clinical decision. The goal is to protect patient privacy and keep clinical judgment in the hands of licensed clinicians.
