Establishes provisions relating to companion chatbots

Summary

The bill defines companion chatbots and requires any service offering them to verify a user’s age, prohibit access by anyone under 18, and ban installation on devices used by minors. It also forces platforms to avoid misleading users about the bot’s nonhuman nature, to prevent emotional dependence, and to forbid human‑like avatars. The measure did not pass.
