Educational tool, not legal advice. Consult a licensed attorney for compliance decisions.

Fifty states. No federal floor.

A grounded, educational starting point for understanding how the state-by-state US AI-regulation patchwork may apply to your business, built on the statute text.

The patchwork is the problem

AI regulation in the US is arriving state by state, not from Washington. Colorado, Connecticut, Illinois, California, and New Jersey have already passed laws or rules, each with its own operative test and staggered effective dates, and more states are drafting their own. New York City sits in the corpus too — not a state, but a jurisdiction whose population rivals many of them, and whose Local Law 144 (the AEDT bias-audit law) belongs squarely in this picture. There is no single rulebook, just a growing patchwork. The hard part is knowing which pieces touch your situation.

Two ways in, one grounded core

Both surfaces read from the same retrieval core. Every claim is grounded in the retrieved statute text with citations. Where the law is unsettled, it says so.

Compliance memo

Describe your situation and get a structured, educational memo: which laws appear to be in scope, what the statute requires, and where you should consult a licensed attorney. Grounded in the statute text, with citations.

Chat

Ask questions and get answers drawn from the statute text with citations, not from a model's general impression of the law. It tells you when an interpretation is contested or unlitigated.

In the corpus today Colorado SB 26-189 · Connecticut SB 5 (PA 26-15) · Illinois HB 3773 · California FEHA automated-decision-system regulations · California CCPA ADMT regulations · New York City Local Law 144* · New Jersey N.J.A.C. 13:16 (DCR disparate-impact rules) * New York City is a non-state jurisdiction, large enough to sit beside the states. The corpus is designed to grow as the patchwork grows.

Honest about what it is

This is an educational tool, not legal advice and not a compliance product. The laws are new, unlitigated, and subject to agency rulemaking; the federal picture is in flux. "Patchwork Assurance" means reasonable assurance (the auditor's term that disclaims absolute assurance), never certainty.
