In this edition of Byte Back AI, we provide updates on new laws enacted in Mississippi, Kentucky, South Dakota, and Utah, a bill passing the Montana legislature, and bills crossing chambers in Georgia, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Texas, and New York. We also provide a summary of the California Senate Governmental Operations committee covering SB 53 (whistleblower protections) and SB 579 (AI in mental health workgroup). Our special feature this week is a summary of New York’s AI Companion Models bill, which passed the New York Assembly this week. Finally, we provide readers with our “three things to know this week” and an updated state AI bill tracker chart. As always, the contents provided below are time-sensitive and subject to change.
