Bill > SCR14

This resolution urges the United States Congress to reject any proposed moratorium on state-level artificial intelligence (AI) regulation. The resolution highlights several key points: Congress has already rejected attempts to insert AI regulation moratoriums in the National Defense Authorization Act and the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, and large AI companies and their trade associations have been lobbying for such a moratorium. The resolution argues that the Tenth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution supports state-level regulation, as powers not explicitly delegated to the federal government remain with the states. Furthermore, it contends that states are best positioned to quickly respond to emerging AI-related harms and tailor policies to local needs, while noting that Congress currently has no comprehensive federal AI regulation plan. The resolution condemns the proposed moratorium, arguing that it prioritizes corporate profits over the health, safety, and welfare of Americans, and calls on Congress to reject such language in federal legislation and executive orders. Finally, it directs the Senate Clerk to send authenticated copies of the resolution to key congressional leadership.
