LA Healthcare AI Act

Regulates use of artificial intelligence by healthcare providers in Louisiana. Permits AI for administrative tasks but prohibits AI from making treatment/diagnosis decisions without licensed professional review, directly interacting with patients on treatment matters, or generating therapeutic recommendations without professional approval.

Enforcement
Louisiana Department of Health
Introduced in the 2025 regular session; last recorded action was referral to the House Health and Welfare Committee in April 2025, with no further movement since. Louisiana does not carry bills between regular sessions. A NOLA.com report on AI/insurance-related bills in the Louisiana legislature corroborates that this and similar measures did not pass and discusses possible reintroduction. Not confirmed via an explicit 'died'/withdrawn statement from legis.la.gov itself — inferred from the stalled action history.
Louisiana LegislatureWhy It Matters
Would prohibit AI from directly interacting with patients on treatment matters - affects AI companions and mental health chatbots operating in healthcare contexts in Louisiana.
Recent Developments
No legislative action found since April 2025; treated as having died with the end of the 2025 session.

CA SB 947
Adds Labor Code Part 5.5.5 on employers' use of automated decision systems (ADS). Bars using an ADS to violate labor or civil rights law, to infer an employee's protected status, or to predict and act against workers exercising legal rights; bars relying solely on an ADS for disciplinary or termination decisions and requires human corroboration where an ADS output is the primary basis; and requires a written post-use notice and, on request, a description of the employee's data used.

CA SB 503
Requires developers and deployers of AI clinical decision support systems used by health facilities, clinics and physician practices to make reasonable efforts to identify systems with a known or reasonably foreseeable risk of biased impacts on people with protected characteristics. Developers must mitigate those risks and give deployers an intended-use and risk statement plus documentation on training data, evaluation and data governance; deployers must regularly monitor the systems and mitigate.
CA AB 2246
Repeals and replaces the California Age-Appropriate Design Code Act. Requires a business providing an online service, product or feature likely to be accessed by children to estimate the age of child users with a reasonable level of certainty or extend child protections to all users, to configure high-privacy defaults, and to take reasonable steps to prevent specified harms including severe psychological harm. Removes the exceptions to the data-collection prohibitions, lets children void contracts entered through manipulative design features, and states that it creates no private right of action.
Colorado AI Act
Colorado law regulating automated decision-making technology (ADMT) that materially influences consequential decisions in areas such as employment, housing, healthcare, financial services, and insurance.
