HR 10210: Doctors Not AI Act of 2026

The Doctors Not AI Act of 2026 prohibits health insurance plans from using artificial intelligence systems to issue or dictate adverse benefit determinations that involve clinical judgment, such as decisions based on medical necessity or treatment appropriateness. Instead, these determinations must be made by a licensed healthcare professional who conducts an independent evaluation of the patient's specific medical circumstances without deferring to AI outputs. The bill requires insurers to disclose in written notices if any AI system was used during the review process and mandates that detailed documentation regarding the AI's role and outputs be maintained as part of the administrative record, available to patients upon request. Additionally, the legislation classifies the use of AI in utilization review as a treatment limitation for parity purposes, ensuring it is evaluated equally across mental health and medical-surgical benefits under existing federal laws.

HR 9939: No AI Data Centers on Federal Lands Act

This bill, titled the No AI Data Centers on Federal Lands Act, prohibits the construction and operation of large-scale artificial intelligence data centers on any land owned or managed by the United States government. It requires federal agencies to immediately stop building or running such facilities and mandates the removal of existing structures within 30 days of the law's enactment. The legislation defines these centers as buildings with high power usage or advanced cooling systems used for developing AI models, while also specifying that any cleanup must follow environmental safety standards.

HR 9800: Protection Against Mass Surveillance Act

The Protection Against Mass Surveillance Act prohibits federal agencies from buying, using, or contracting for automated surveillance systems that rely on license plate recognition, facial recognition, biometric identification, or other technologies designed for mass tracking. It also prevents state, local, and tribal governments from using federal funds to acquire or operate these same surveillance tools. If federal agencies obtain data in violation of these rules, the law requires them to delete the information within 30 days and bars its use as evidence in any court or administrative proceeding.

HR 9546: Cloud Security Act

The Cloud Security Act amends existing laws to allow cloud service providers to share specific customer data with the U.S. government under certain conditions. This permission applies when the provider believes in good faith that a customer is using advanced cloud computing resources or artificial intelligence models to benefit a designated foreign entity. The bill defines these advanced technologies by specific technical metrics, such as the number of parameters in AI models and the processing power of computer chips, while limiting the shared information to only what is necessary for verification. By creating these exceptions, the legislation enables the Department of Commerce to monitor and report on the use of sensitive technology by foreign actors without requiring a separate warrant for each instance.

HR 9442: Artificial Intelligence Data Center Moratorium Act

This bill, titled the Artificial Intelligence Data Center Moratorium Act, halts the construction and upgrading of large-scale artificial intelligence data centers until specific federal laws are passed. It defines these facilities as sites with high power capacity or advanced cooling systems used for developing AI models. The moratorium remains in effect until new legislation ensures federal safety reviews for AI products, mandates that economic benefits reach workers rather than just wealthy owners, prevents increases in utility bills, avoids environmental harm, requires community approval, bans government subsidies, and guarantees union jobs with strong labor standards. Additionally, the bill restricts the export of computing hardware, such as semiconductors and networking equipment, to countries that do not adopt these same protective laws for AI development.

HR 9314: DHS Surveillance Technology Moratorium Act of 2026

The DHS Surveillance Technology Moratorium Act of 2026 temporarily halts the Department of Homeland Security from using funds to start, renew, or expand contracts for surveillance tools used in immigration enforcement, such as facial recognition and predictive analytics. This pause applies to agencies like U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Customs and Border Protection, though existing contracts can continue until a review is complete. The bill mandates an independent audit within 180 days to examine data collection practices, privacy impacts, and the accuracy of these technologies, followed by a public report detailing their use and capabilities. The funding ban remains in effect until the audit is finished, a public report is released, and the department demonstrates it has implemented necessary safeguards to protect civil liberties. Once these conditions are met, the moratorium lifts, but the department must submit annual reports on its continued use of these technologies and any related privacy complaints.

HR 9162: Protecting America from Chinese Cars Act of 2026

The Protecting America from Chinese Cars Act of 2026 prohibits connected vehicles from entering the United States if they are made in or designed within North Korea, China, Russia, or Iran, or if foreign entities from these countries control more than 15 percent of the manufacturer. This ban covers cars that use wireless technology to connect with networks or devices but allows exceptions for vehicles not meant for public roads or those brought in solely for testing by U.S.-based companies with no foreign ownership ties. The law also gives the Commissioner of U.S. Customs and Border Protection the power to issue special permits for specific vehicles after a detailed security review and a 60-day congressional review period. Once regulations are published, the ban will apply to any connected vehicle attempting to enter the country on or after that date.

S 4710: Protecting America from Chinese Cars Act of 2026

The Protecting America from Chinese Cars Act of 2026 prohibits connected vehicles from entering the United States if they originate from or are designed in China, North Korea, Russia, or Iran, or if they are manufactured by companies with significant foreign ownership from those nations. This ban applies to vehicles equipped with internet connectivity used on public roads but includes an exception for those intended solely for testing and evaluation by U.S.-based entities with no foreign ties. The law allows the Commissioner of U.S. Customs and Border Protection to issue specific or general authorizations for vehicles that pass a security risk assessment proving they do not threaten national security or data integrity. These authorizations require a 60-day congressional review period and must be publicly listed, while the ban takes effect only after relevant regulations are published.

This bill establishes a new Office of Export Controls and Border Security within the U.S. Department of State to help partner countries prevent the spread of weapons of mass destruction. The Office will train foreign nations on how to better regulate the export of sensitive technologies and goods that could be misused for military purposes. It also requires the Secretary of State to create a coordinated strategy using advanced analytics to identify risks and strengthen global supply chain security. Additionally, the legislation mandates that different parts of the State Department work together to avoid duplicating efforts in border security assistance.
