AI Companions Heatmap

Oregon SB 1546 — an AI companion chatbot rule enacted in April 2026 — is on file, but the bill text could not be read on this review cycle due to a PDF parser issue.

• Oregon appears to have passed a rule for AI companion chatbot platforms in April 2026, but the bill text could not be verified on this pass — treat this card as a candid gap, not a finding about Oregon's actual posture. The intake record describes provisions around crisis-response protocols, added protections for minor users, and a private right of action — but those details have not been confirmed against the enrolled bill text and should not be relied on until this entry is updated. The official enrolled measure is publicly available on the Oregon Legislature's site and loads in a normal browser, so the full text is accessible for anyone who wants to read it directly.

• Open the Oregon SB 1546 link directly in your browser — it loads cleanly there and shows the full enrolled text. Look for the effective date, the specific requirements placed on platforms regarding minor users, and the crisis-response protocol obligations, since those are the provisions most relevant to families using AI companion apps.
