Summary

The bill creates the Companion Chatbot Safety Act, making companies that run AI companion chatbots subject to the Utah Consumer Privacy Act and additional safety standards. It mandates clear disclosures, data protection, special safeguards for users under 13, annual reporting to the Office of Artificial Intelligence Policy, and gives the Division of Consumer Protection enforcement authority with fines. The law also allows the state to set age‑verification rules and provides a safe‑harbor for compliant operators.
