One Big Beautiful Bill — 10-Year State AI Law Moratorium (Failed Jul 2025)
The One Big Beautiful Bill included a provision that would have imposed a 10-year moratorium on state AI laws, preventing states from enacting or enforcing regulations on AI systems stricter than federal law. The provision failed to survive Senate reconciliation in July 2025, removed after significant opposition from state AGs and civil rights groups.
