Why this status

Utah enacted HB 452 (Artificial Intelligence Amendments) in the 2025 General Session, regulating mental-health chatbots using AI: establishing protections for users, prohibiting certain uses of personal information, requiring disclosures to users, granting enforcement authority to the Division of Consumer Protection, and creating rebuttable presumptions for suppliers who comply with policy requirements. UT HB 438 ('Companion Chatbot Safety Act') passed the Utah House 68-1 in the 2026 session, requiring companion chatbot operators to comply with consumer data privacy provisions, restricting advertising by operators, and creating obligations for chatbots directed at minors.
