LB 939 Legislature · 109th Legislature (2025-2026)

Adopt the Saving Human Connection Act

LB 939 requires AI chatbot platforms to block human-like features (such as claiming to feel emotions or build relationships) for users under 18. Platforms must display clear warnings every 30 minutes stating the AI isn't human, and implement systems to detect emergencies like self-harm. The law applies to all generative AI systems starting January 1, 2028, and also mandates measures to prevent emotional dependence on AI chatbots. It directly affects AI platforms, minors, and all users interacting with AI chatbots.
