Summary
The bill bars artificial‑intelligence systems from making independent treatment decisions or communicating directly with clients in therapy. Licensed mental‑health professionals may only use AI as a tool for administrative or supplementary tasks, and only after informing the client in writing and obtaining clear, written consent. Violations could lead to professional discipline.
