Summary

The bill prohibits mental‑health professionals from offering or advertising services that rely on artificial intelligence to make therapeutic judgments, diagnoses, or treatment plans. It does allow AI for back‑office functions such as scheduling, billing, documentation, and quality‑improvement, provided a licensed professional retains clinical responsibility and obtains patient consent where required. Violations are treated as unprofessional conduct and consumer‑protection offenses.
