United States of America: Budget reconciliation Bill was adopted without moratorium on the enforcement of state and local laws regulating Artificial Intelligence
Description
Budget reconciliation Bill was adopted without moratorium on the enforcement of state and local laws regulating Artificial Intelligence
On 3 July 2025, the Budget reconciliation Bill was adopted following the House of Representatives' motion agreeing to the Senate amendments. The Senate previously voted to remove the 10-year moratorium on state and local enforcement of Artificial Intelligence (AI) regulations. The original text had allowed exceptions for laws that support AI deployment, streamline procedures, or apply neutral, cost-based rules similar to those governing non-AI systems.
