Full overviewHide full overview
An insurance bulletin in effect since Feb. 20, 2024, expects insurers to govern AI used in decisions affecting patients under a written program. Since Jan. 1, 2026, HB 143 has made it a misdemeanor for a chatbot operator to knowingly direct a communication to a child meant to encourage self-harm, suicide, sexually explicit conduct, drug or alcohol use or violent crime, with civil liability of at least $1,000 per violation. The consumer privacy law, in force since Jan. 1, 2025, exempts HIPAA covered entities; other businesses above its thresholds, such as health apps, need consent to process data revealing a health condition. Two 2026 bills died: HB 1406, barring carriers from using AI to override a provider's coding or clinical judgment, and SB 640, confining AI-delivered mental health services to licensed professionals.
