Specific rule in effect.

Based on direct statute tracking.

Why this status

Based on direct statute tracking.

What this means

  • Utah S.B. 149 is a state rule currently in effect. If your family interacts with a business covered by the law, that business must tell you when you are talking to generative AI if you ask — and in healthcare and other licensed settings, they must tell you without being asked. H.B. 452 (2025) targets mental-health chatbots specifically, requiring upfront AI disclosure and restricting use of health data for advertising — but the reviewer should confirm that bill's enacted status before treating those provisions as fully in force. These rules apply to businesses operating in Utah and interacting with Utah residents. They do not require every app your family uses to label all AI features — the duty is narrower, focused on direct AI-to-person interaction and licensed-profession contexts.

What to do next

  • Open S.B. 149 directly on the Utah Legislature site (le.utah.gov) and look for the enrolled bill text to confirm the operative effective date and any administrative rules issued by the Utah Department of Commerce. For H.B. 452, search the 2025 session index on the same site and confirm whether the Governor signed it and on what date — that confirmation is what moves the mental-health chatbot provisions from 'described' to 'verified on the books.'
