In brief

California dominated September activity, accounting for 54 of the 87 bills that changed stage. Governor Newsom signed 40 bills into law and vetoed 14. Among the new California laws are CA SB 503, which requires developers of artificial intelligence systems used in clinical decision-making to identify and mitigate bias and submit systems for independent audits beginning January 1, 2030, and CA AB 1979, which deems businesses offering health care chatbots to consumers as health care providers subject to medical information confidentiality requirements. Delaware enacted seven laws, including DE SB 120, requiring health plans to cover biomarker testing when supported by FDA approvals or clinical practice guidelines for policies issued after December 31, 2027. Federal activity included three bills passing one chamber and a rule on agent and broker registration for the exchanges taking effect September 22.

They are matched on their titles alone, so a bill on this topic whose title does not say so may be missing; check those legislatures directly.

 † Matched on the bill's title alone, because the platform does not yet hold that bill's full text. Every other bill is matched on its whole document.
