AN ACT RELATING TO COURTS AND CIVIL PROCEDURE -- PROCEDURE GENERALLY--CAUSES OF ACTION

HB 8052 creates a new legal claim for individuals harmed by artificial intelligence systems, allowing them to sue responsible parties in court. It directly affects people injured by AI applications, such as those causing physical harm or financial loss through faulty AI decisions. The bill establishes clear procedures for filing these lawsuits within civil court systems. Currently introduced to the House Judiciary committee (as of February 27, 2026), it has not yet been voted on or passed. This is a substantive policy change, not a procedural measure.
