SB 6254 Washington Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Leveraging artificial intelligence to improve Washington's regulatory climate through streamlining language in rules and regulatory guidance documents.

SB 6254 requires Washington state agencies to use artificial intelligence to simplify regulatory language in rules and guidance documents. It directs agencies to identify and remove redundancies, contradictions, or overly complex phrasing that may create unnecessary barriers for residents and businesses. The bill amends state law to define key terms like "artificial intelligence" and "machine learning" specifically for this regulatory purpose. Its goal is to make state regulations clearer, more efficient, and easier to navigate, potentially reducing compliance costs for affected entities.
