Summary

The law stops mental‑health providers from using artificial intelligence to diagnose, treat, or communicate therapeutically with patients, and forbids advertising such services. It still permits AI for paperwork, scheduling, and quality‑improvement, as long as a licensed professional retains responsibility. The change adds AI misuse to the list of unprofessional conduct for mental‑health licensees.
