Committee passes bill requiring human oversight, transparency and reporting for state AI use

House Bill 3545 was presented by Representative Maynard and passed the committee unanimously.

Representative Maynard, recognized to explain the PCS, said the bill "sets responsible standards for state agency use of AI," including requirements that high‑risk decisions have human oversight, that agencies disclose when AI generates content, and that agencies submit annual reports so constituents know what AI is being used in state government.

The committee adopted the PCS as the working draft, moved adoption, and recorded a vote of 7 ayes and 0 nays; the chair declared the bill amended and passed. The transcript records no further amendments or substantive debate.

Next steps: the committee declared the bill passed; no further scheduling details were recorded in the transcript.
