Idaho's chatbot law binds operators of public conversational AI services, not physicians.

Full overview and dates aheadHide full overview

S 1297, the Conversational AI Safety Act, signed March 31, 2026, takes effect July 1, 2027. From then, an operator must disclose that its service is AI when a reasonable person would be misled, keep a protocol making reasonable efforts to refer users who raise suicidal ideation to crisis services, and not knowingly and intentionally program a chatbot to state it is designed to provide professional mental or behavioral health care, with added protections for minors. H 945, which would have licensed autonomous AI to diagnose, treat and prescribe, died in committee at adjournment April 2, 2026.
