AIP's bill tracker identifies the measure as a 119th Congress House bill with the purpose of establishing antitrust-law applicability to sharing AI frontier model risks. It lists Bob Latta, R-OH, and George Whitesides, D-CA, as primary sponsors, shows bipartisan cosponsorship, and lists the House action as introduced on 07/23/2026.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): No concrete Aug. 18-20 update showing passage, enactment, abandonment, or reversal was found; the latest visible status remains introduction only, so the legal change remains unresolved despite serious action.

Public state: unverified As of unknown · legacy_unverified · . Original AI recommendation (not independently established): partial. same_term A for effort

Latta materially advanced the promised policy in the same federal term by serving as a primary sponsor/co-lead of bipartisan legislation specifically addressing AI frontier-model risk information sharing, coordinated responses, distillation attacks, and antitrust guardrails. However, the available record shows the bill was introduced and referred to committee, not passed or enacted, so the promised legal framework has not been fully delivered.
