Commerce Evaluation of State AI Laws #
Directs the Secretary of Commerce to evaluate existing state AI laws within 90 days and identify those that conflict with federal objectives. The evaluation includes a BEAD Program policy notice making states with conflicting AI laws ineligible for broadband funding. Also directs FTC to issue a policy statement on how the FTC Act preempts state laws mandating alterations to truthful AI outputs. No direct obligations for AI developers — but the evaluation results will shape which state laws survive federal challenge.
