## Summary

**Creates a permanent Artificial Intelligence Safety Board** at the Department of Commerce to oversee risks from high‑capability “frontier” AI. It pairs mandatory Model Safety Plans and 45‑day pre‑release access with incident reporting and public tracking to spot recurring AI flaws. - Developers and AI companies would have to publish a Model Safety Plan for each model and submit capabilities and risk assessments using the Board’s framework. They must give the Board pre-release access to model weights and runtime data at least 45 days before commercial introduction and face civil penalties up to $250,000 per violation counted daily. - Operators of critical infrastructure that use AI in industrial control systems would need to report confirmed AI safety or security incidents within 30 days and within 72 hours if the incident poses an imminent threat to national security, infrastructure, or public safety. - Researchers, independent testers, and private firms would gain access to Secure Research Test‑Beds hosted by agencies such as the National Security Agency and Department of Energy National Laboratories, with cost‑recovery access and support from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). - NIST and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) would set up voluntary sharing mechanisms within 180 days and a publicly accessible incident database within 1 year that anonymizes parties unless they consent to naming. - The Board would propose technical standards within 90 days of formation and receiving agencies would adopt or explain modifications within 30 days. NIST would also develop an Agentic AI Profile and a common template for documenting AI agents within 18 months.

## Provisions PRIA read

- Tech guidance and secure AI testbeds: benefit, low. If enacted, the bill would require NIST to develop an Agentic AI Profile and begin a common AI‑agent documentation template within 18 months. NIST would also provide nonbinding risk guidance within 180 days. The Secretary could arrange secure computing environments from federal partners and make th…
- New AI safety rules for developers: cost, medium. If enacted, the bill would require the Secretary of Commerce to create an Artificial Intelligence Safety Board within 30 days. The Board would propose technical standards within 90 days, and agencies would have 30 days to adopt or modify them. Developers would have to follow applicable standards an…
- AI incident reporting and database: mixed, medium. If enacted, the bill would require NIST, working with CISA, to set up a voluntary, confidential way to share AI security incidents, safety incidents, and identified AI flaws within 180 days. NIST would also create a public database and flaw catalog within one year and review submissions for inclusi…
