Updated as of July 6, 2025 - This free informational service tracks the evolving landscape of state-level AI regulation. Our paid mass tort intelligence reports are available separately for comprehensive litigation monitoring.
The "One Big Beautiful Bill Act" (H.R.1, 119th Congress) significantly changed the landscape of AI regulation by preserving state authority rather than restricting it. On July 1, 2025, the U.S. Senate voted 99-1 to remove a controversial provision that would have imposed a federal moratorium on state AI regulation. This decisive bipartisan rejection of federal preemption represents a major victory for state sovereignty in AI governance, allowing states to continue serving as "laboratories of democracy" in developing AI regulatory frameworks. The removal of the AI Enforcement Pause means states retain full authority to enact and enforce AI-specific legislation, with no federal penalties for regulating AI systems within their jurisdictions. This development underscores the critical importance of regulatory compliance at the state level, as businesses must now navigate an evolving patchwork of state AI laws rather than a uniform federal framework.
