Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
4 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 1 costs, 2 mixed.
Consumer safeguards for Utah AI testing
Beginning May 6, 2026, both types of AI agreements must state any required consumer notices and participant reports. Utah’s AI policy office must regularly audit participants’ AI use while agreements remain active. The office can end an agreement at any time, for any reason. Participants who violate applicable laws, rules, or agreement terms can be removed immediately and still face existing civil or criminal penalties.
Utah limits liability for AI harms
Beginning May 6, 2026, Utah is not responsible for claims, damages, losses, liabilities, or expenses arising from participation in its AI laboratory. This also covers actions taken in accordance with either type of AI agreement. The limit concerns state responsibility; it does not decide the participant’s liability or require households to pay participant costs.
AI applicants face screening and deadlines
Beginning May 6, 2026, applicants for either AI agreement must show technical skills, responsible oversight, and enough money for testing obligations. They must show potential substantial consumer benefits that may outweigh identified risks and an effective plan to monitor and reduce risks. Testing size, scope, and length must reflect its risks. Agreements initially last no more than 12 months, with up to two 12-month extensions—36 months total. Extension requests are due at least 30 days before the current period ends; the office must decide before it expires.
Temporary rule relief for AI businesses
Beginning May 6, 2026, eligible AI participants can seek temporary relief from Utah laws or rules that block their technology. Agreements with Utah’s AI policy office and the relevant agency must set scope limits and safeguards. Relief can include time to fix violations or reduced civil fines. Participants can also seek joint agreements explaining how state laws or rules apply to their technology. All legal requirements remain in force unless a relief agreement expressly changes them.
