Technology (Artificial Intelligence)

This bill requires District of Columbia public high schools (grades 9-12) to adopt AI literacy policies by the start of the 2026-27 school year. The policies must cover responsible AI use in classrooms, teach students to critically evaluate AI tools for transparency and equity, and address both educational opportunities and risks like misinformation. The DC Office of the State Superintendent of Education (OSSE) must also develop guidance and professional development resources for educators on implementing these policies. The law directly affects students, teachers, and school administrators in DC public schools by integrating AI literacy into educational practices.

This bill updates Washington D.C.'s campaign finance laws, primarily affecting candidates, campaigns, political committees, and the Office of Campaign Finance. It enhances transparency by requiring more detailed reporting from committees, making investigation documents public online, and mandating disclaimers for AI-generated election content. The bill also creates a customer service focus through published campaign guides and an advisory group, while reforming the Fair Elections Program by raising certification thresholds, speeding up fund disbursement, and barring expelled council members from using public funds. These changes aim to improve election integrity, streamline campaign compliance, and ensure responsible use of public financing.
