HR 10210: Doctors Not AI Act of 2026

The Doctors Not AI Act of 2026 prohibits health insurance plans from using artificial intelligence systems to issue or dictate adverse benefit determinations that involve clinical judgment, such as decisions based on medical necessity or treatment appropriateness. Instead, these determinations must be made by a licensed healthcare professional who conducts an independent evaluation of the patient's specific medical circumstances without deferring to AI outputs. The bill requires insurers to disclose in written notices if any AI system was used during the review process and mandates that detailed documentation regarding the AI's role and outputs be maintained as part of the administrative record, available to patients upon request. Additionally, the legislation classifies the use of AI in utilization review as a treatment limitation for parity purposes, ensuring it is evaluated equally across mental health and medical-surgical benefits under existing federal laws.

HR 9016: Email Privacy Act

This bill, known as the Email Privacy Act, amends existing federal laws to clarify how information about stored emails can be shared and how government agencies can access email content. It requires internet service providers to use the term "disclose" rather than "divulge" when sharing subscriber data and expands the definition of who can receive this information to include agents of the customer. The legislation also changes rules for government warrants by allowing providers to notify customers about the receipt of a warrant unless the government requests otherwise, while maintaining exceptions for communications made public by the sender. Additionally, the bill removes a specific time limit that previously required a warrant for emails stored for less than 180 days, ensuring consistent warrant requirements for all stored communications.

HR 8730: Connected Vehicle Security Act of 2026

The Connected Vehicle Security Act of 2026 restricts the importation, sale, and manufacture of vehicles and related technology from specific countries, including China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea, to address national security concerns. The law defines prohibited items as connected vehicles, their software, and hardware components and sets different effective dates, with vehicle bans starting in 2027 and hardware restrictions beginning in 2030. A government official can grant exceptions for specific items after reviewing security risks and notifying Congress, while the agency must publish annual reports on enforcement actions and compliance.

HR 7433: Kids Off Social Media Act

The Kids Off Social Media Act prohibits social media platforms from allowing children under 13 to create accounts and requires them to delete the personal data of any existing accounts belonging to children. It also bans platforms from using personalized recommendation systems to show content to children and teens, except when the system relies only on basic information like device type, language, and location. The Eyes on the Board Act of 2026 requires schools that receive discounted internet subsidies to certify that they block students from accessing social media platforms and monitor their online activities. Together, these measures aim to limit children's access to social media and restrict how platforms use data from young users.

HR 8170: MATCH Act

The MATCH Act requires U.S. agencies to align export controls on semiconductor manufacturing equipment with allied nations to prevent adversaries from accessing critical technology. It mandates a 150-day period for diplomatic efforts to secure countrywide denial policies from allied suppliers, after which U.S. jurisdiction would extend to equipment exported from countries not complying with these controls. The bill specifically targets semiconductor manufacturing equipment that the U.S. cannot currently produce in high volume and includes a list of Chinese companies deemed to warrant comprehensive restrictions. If allies fail to implement matching controls, the Act would allow the U.S. to regulate equipment exported from non-compliant allied countries and restrict servicing of restricted items at facilities in adversary nations. The legislation includes a sunset provision that expires five years after enactment, with annual reporting requirements to Congress on progress and compliance.

HR 1919: Anti-CBDC Surveillance State Act

HR 1919, the "Anti-CBDC Surveillance State Act," prohibits the Federal Reserve from developing, testing, or issuing any central bank digital currency (CBDC) or similar digital assets. It specifically bans the Fed from offering direct financial products to individuals, maintaining individual accounts, or issuing CBDCs directly or indirectly through intermediaries like banks. The bill also blocks the Fed from using any digital asset for monetary policy and clarifies that physical currency's privacy protections remain intact. This policy directly affects the Federal Reserve System's ability to create or manage digital monetary tools.

HR 6875: AI OVERWATCH Act

The AI OVERWATCH Act requires U.S. exporters to obtain a license for sending certain high-performance integrated circuits (defined by specific technical specifications like processing power or bandwidth) to countries designated as "concerns," including China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea. Before approving such licenses, the Commerce Department must submit detailed certifications to Congress, including assurances the export won’t support military/intelligence capabilities of the recipient country and won’t harm U.S. semiconductor availability or AI leadership. The bill also creates an exemption for U.S. companies meeting strict security and ownership standards ("trusted United States persons") to export these chips to non-target countries without a license. Additionally, it mandates a national security strategy assessing how such exports affect U.S. AI competitiveness, particularly regarding China’s semiconductor production and capabilities.

HR 7363: ICE Out of Our Faces Act

HR 7363, the ICE Out of Our Faces Act, prohibits U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers from using facial recognition, voice recognition, or other biometric surveillance technology for immigration enforcement. It directly affects CBP and ICE officers, including those deputized under Section 287(g), by banning the acquisition, possession, or use of such technology within the U.S. The bill requires immediate deletion of all existing biometric data collected by these agencies within 30 days of enactment and makes illegally obtained data inadmissible in court. Individuals harmed by violations can sue the federal government for damages, while officers violating the law face retraining, suspension, or termination.

HR 5272: Protect Elections from Deceptive AI Act

HR 5272, the *Protect Elections from Deceptive AI Act*, prohibits the intentional distribution of AI-generated audio or video that falsely represents a federal candidate’s appearance, speech, or conduct in a way that would mislead voters during an election. It directly affects candidates for federal office, political committees, and entities distributing such content with the intent to influence elections or solicit funds. The bill includes key exceptions for news organizations (with clear authenticity disclosures), publications (with explicit statements), and satire. Victims can seek court injunctions or damages for violations, with the burden of proof requiring "clear and convincing evidence." This law aims to prevent AI-generated disinformation from distorting election outcomes.

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.
