A 4731 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Directs professional and occupational boards to promulgate rules for licensee use of generative artificial intelligence.

This bill requires New Jersey's Division of Consumer Affairs to create a model policy within three months for how professionals and licensed workers can use generative artificial intelligence in their work. Professional and occupational boards would then have six months to adopt this model policy with any necessary adjustments specific to their fields. The law defines generative artificial intelligence as systems that create text, audio, or visual content with minimal human oversight and temporarily bypasses standard rule-making procedures to speed up implementation. Once adopted, these rules would remain in effect for one year before being reviewed and updated through normal administrative processes.
