Connecticut's AI health rules are mostly privacy laws exempting HIPAA covered entities; those naming AI apply to insurers and bind state plan carriers and AI companion operators.

Full overview and dates aheadHide full overview

A Feb. 25, 2026, Attorney General memorandum says antidiscrimination, privacy and trade practices laws reach AI in health care and insurance. Under the Connecticut Data Privacy Act and a 2023 amendment, non-HIPAA businesses need consent to process or sell health data, and SB 1295 has required privacy notices since July 1, 2026, to say whether personal data train large language models. Bulletin MC-25, issued Feb. 26, 2024, expects insurers to govern AI under a written program. A State Comptroller policy for state employee and Partnership plans, announced Sept. 16, 2026, with no start date, bars adverse determinations and downcoding by AI alone and requires carriers and providers to disclose AI that materially assists with, interacts with or recommends a benefit or service. From Jan. 1, 2027, SB 5 requires AI companion operators to refer users expressing suicide or self-harm to crisis resources.
