Summary
The bill would stop licensed mental‑health professionals from using artificial intelligence to make clinical decisions, interact with clients, or generate treatment plans without oversight. AI could still be used for scheduling, billing, record‑keeping and other administrative duties, and it could record sessions only with the client’s written consent. Violations could bring civil fines up to $10,000 and professional discipline.
