HR 67: Modernizing Retrospective Regulatory Review

HR 67, the Modernizing Retrospective Regulatory Review Act, requires federal agencies to make their regulations available in machine-readable formats and use technology like AI to review existing rules. It directs agencies to identify outdated, redundant, or error-filled regulations more efficiently and submit detailed implementation plans within two years. The bill mandates that agencies develop strategies for using technology to assess rules for obsolescence, burden, or inaccuracies, and train staff on these tools. This affects all federal agencies with regulatory authority, aiming to improve the efficiency and accuracy of ongoing regulatory reviews.

S 2912: Deceptive Practices and Voter Intimidation Prevention Act of 2025

This bill prohibits the intentional dissemination of false information about voting procedures, election timing, or voter eligibility that is designed to prevent people from voting. It specifically makes it illegal to spread misleading information through any communication method, including via generative artificial intelligence, within 60 days of an election. The bill creates criminal penalties for such deceptive acts (up to one year in prison) and allows civil lawsuits for victims. The Attorney General would have authority to issue corrective information when false statements are spreading, and would be required to report on deceptive practices to Congress after each election.

S 958: Tech to Save Moms Act

The Tech to Save Moms Act expands access to telehealth for pregnant and postpartum individuals in underserved communities by allowing remote screening and management of pregnancy complications through digital tools. It authorizes $6 million annually (2026-2030) for grants to train maternal health providers on reducing racial disparities, using telehealth during emergencies, and addressing social health risks. The grants prioritize health professional shortage areas, rural communities, and populations with high maternal mortality rates, requiring grantees to evaluate outcomes and develop best practices. The bill also mandates a study on AI and monitoring devices to address racial biases in maternal health technology.

HR 4628: AI Impersonation Prevention Act of 2025

HR 4628, the AI Impersonation Prevention Act of 2025, prohibits using artificial intelligence to impersonate federal officials (including mimicking their voice or likeness) without a clear disclaimer, if the content is materially false or misleading. It makes knowingly creating such deceptive AI content a crime punishable by up to three years in prison or a fine, while explicitly exempting satire, parody, or protected speech that includes a clear disclosure it is not authentic. The bill directly affects individuals or entities producing AI-generated content falsely posing as federal employees or officials. It defines "artificial intelligence" broadly as systems performing human-like tasks (e.g., generating realistic audio or video) and "impersonates" as falsely representing oneself as another identifiable person.

S 2381: PROACTIV Artificial Intelligence Data Act of 2025

The PROACTIV Artificial Intelligence Data Act of 2025 requires the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) to develop a voluntary framework within one year for AI developers and data collectors to detect, remove, and report child pornography in datasets used to train artificial intelligence systems. This framework, created with input from law enforcement, nonprofits, and industry stakeholders, will provide specific guidelines for handling such content in AI training data. The bill also grants limited liability protection to AI developers and data collectors who follow the framework, though this protection does not apply if they acted intentionally, recklessly, or negligently, or violated existing child pornography laws. The law explicitly excludes AI deployers (who integrate AI into products) and end users from these requirements.

HR 915: Small Business Technological Advancement Act

HR 915, the Small Business Technological Act of 2025, expands the use of Small Business Administration (SBA) Section 7(a) loans to cover business software, cloud computing services, and AI-powered tools that handle payroll, HR, sales, billing, accounting, and inventory management. It directly affects small businesses seeking loans for operational technology upgrades, allowing them to use SBA funds for these specific tech services without changing existing loan purposes. The bill amends the Small Business Act to explicitly permit these uses under Section 7(a), clarifying that existing loans for similar purposes before the law's enactment remain valid. It does not expand loan use for research, development, or working capital beyond current definitions.

S 3319: Workforce of the Future Act of 2025

The Workforce of the Future Act of 2025 requires federal agencies to study AI's impact on jobs through reports due within 6 months, 1 year, and 3 years of enactment, focusing on data needs, affected industries, and vulnerable demographics. It authorizes $160 million in Department of Education grants to expand emerging and advanced technology education in schools, with specific emphasis on making these programs accessible to underrepresented groups including minorities, girls, and students from low-income families. The bill also allocates $90 million in Department of Labor grants to provide training for workers most impacted by AI in industries where AI is projected to significantly affect job opportunities. Grantees must report on program participation and outcomes, disaggregated by race, ethnicity, gender, and socioeconomic status, and demonstrate how programs will be sustained after funding ends. The legislation emphasizes collaboration between schools, industry, and labor organizations to develop curricula and training aligned with future workforce needs.

HR 4801: Unleashing AI Innovation in Financial Services Act

The Unleashing AI Innovation in Financial Services Act establishes "AI Innovation Labs" within major financial regulatory agencies to enable financial institutions to test AI-driven financial products and services with temporary regulatory flexibility. Financial institutions can apply for approval to operate AI test projects under alternative compliance strategies that must demonstrate public benefit, risk management, and consumer protection while avoiding systemic risks. Regulators must review applications within 120 days (extendable to 240 days), and approved projects operate under the alternative strategy for a defined period with annual reporting requirements. The bill creates a structured framework for innovation in financial services while maintaining oversight through defined application processes and regulatory reporting.
