From committee: Do pass and re-refer to Com. on APPR. (Ayes 12. Noes 1.) (July 1). Re-referred to Com. on APPR.
Summary
The bill forces operators of companion chatbots to clearly tell users they are interacting with artificial intelligence, to publish safety protocols for suicide prevention, and to protect minors from sexual content. It also creates an exception to California’s conflict‑of‑interest rules for public officials dealing with specific nonprofit groups when the decision only affects membership dues. These changes aim to increase transparency for AI users and clarify financial‑interest rules for elected officials.
