Action Postponed Indefinitely (session adjourned sine die)
Summary
The bill sets rules for companion AI chatbots, forcing operators to clearly tell users they’re talking to AI, prohibit reward systems that trap users, and require crisis‑intervention alerts. It applies to any company that deploys such chatbots in New Mexico, including those used by minors, and treats violations as unfair or deceptive practices enforceable by the attorney general. The goal is to protect consumers, especially vulnerable users, from manipulation and mental‑health harms.
