AI Chatbot Solicitation of Children (HB 143, 2025)

Makes owners and operators of dedicated generative AI chat services liable when they knowingly direct communications to a child intended to encourage the child to imminently engage in sexually explicit conduct, producing sexual images, illegal drug or alcohol use, self-harm or suicide, or violence. The Attorney General enforces the civil provision after giving 90 days to cure, and the same conduct is a form of the crime of endangering the welfare of a child.
