Full overview and dates aheadHide full overview
Since May 7, 2025, SB 226 has required licensees to prominently disclose generative AI that collects health data or gives personalized medical or mental health advice. Under SB 149, the Office of Artificial Intelligence Policy signed agreements letting AI renew or refill non-controlled medications for Doctronic, Legion Health and August AI and prescribe topical acne treatment for Nolla Health, under phased clinician review, and approved a physical therapy pilot and framework agreements with University of Utah Health and Intermountain Health.
A 2025 letter asks mental health therapists, including physicians, for consent before AI records sessions. HB 452 regulates mental health chatbot suppliers. From Jan. 1, 2027, SB 319 requires insurers using AI in preauthorization to tell providers and enrollees, and medical necessity denials to come from a reviewer exercising independent judgment. The Consumer Privacy Act exempts HIPAA covered entities; the Genetic Information Privacy Act binds consumer genetic testing companies. A companion chatbot bill failed March 5, 2026.
