Relating to the use of artificial intelligence by health care providers.

HB 4455 requires Texas health care providers (licensed or authorized to deliver services in the state) to follow specific rules when using artificial intelligence in patient care. The law mandates that the state health agency create rules ensuring responsible AI use, including requiring providers to notify patients via automated messages if AI is used in their care. These messages must explain the AI use and provide contact information for a provider who can answer patient questions. The rules must be adopted by the Health and Human Services Commission and take effect on September 1, 2025.
