AI Legislation Tracker
The AI bills your clients will ask about, filed under names that never say AI
A curated tracker for artificial intelligence legislation across the states and Congress, with a monthly issue written to be forwarded to a client.

The Problem
A Thousand AI Bills, A Handful That Matter
AI is the highest-volume subject in the states right now. The work is not finding bills about it. It is finding the few that created a duty on somebody and then actually moved.
The duty arrives inside another statute
An AI obligation is rarely filed as an AI bill. It lands in an insurance rate statute, a hiring law, an election code or a health privacy amendment, under a different committee each time, and a client's exposure is the union of all of them.
Volume is not the problem. Ranking is
A broad search returns hundreds of bills a month, most of them study commissions and appropriations. Reading them is the work you were trying to avoid. What you need is the handful that moved, in the order they matter.
Clients ask in the week, not the month
The question is rarely "what is happening in AI law". It is "does this affect us, and when". Answering it well means having already read the month, not starting to read it when the email arrives.
What's In Scope
Defined in writing, measured against every bill
In scope is any bill that puts a duty on someone who builds, sells or deploys an automated system: disclosure when a model generates content, testing and notice before an algorithm screens a job applicant or sets a price, limits on government facial recognition, and consent for a synthetic likeness. The tracker follows the mechanism rather than the industry, so an insurance bill and a hiring bill arrive together when both create the same obligation.
What this tracker does not cover
Procurement announcements, agency press releases and state administrative codes are out of scope. Regulatory Watch, the federal rulemaking layer, reads the Federal Register only. That is a permanent boundary, not a roadmap item.
Scope is defined by a written topic profile that every bill is measured against. The profiles are drafted by a model and validated by retrieval measurement against a judged set of bills, not reviewed by an attorney. LawSignals is a research tool and does not provide legal advice.

Frequently Asked Questions
What counts as AI legislation in this tracker?
Any bill creating a duty on a party that builds, sells or deploys an automated system. That includes generative model disclosure, automated employment decision tools, algorithmic pricing and screening, government use of facial recognition, and consent for digital replicas. Coverage spans US state legislatures and Congress.
How does a bill get into this tracker?
The tracker carries a written profile of the duties and mechanisms in scope, and every bill in the corpus is scored against it. A bill enters on the obligation it creates, which is why an "automated employment decision tool" bill and an algorithmic pricing bill arrive together.
Who decides what is relevant?
A written topic profile, drafted by a model and validated by retrieval measurement against a judged set of bills. It is not reviewed by an attorney, and nothing here should be read as if it were.
Does it cover federal regulations?
Federal rulemaking arrives through Regulatory Watch, which reads the Federal Register and leads with open comment deadlines. State administrative codes are outside the product permanently.
