Preempts any state or local law or regulation specifically targeting the development of AI models... Sunsets three years post-enactment.
Federalize state laws that specifically regulate AI model development for a three-year period.
Occurrences
Sec. 121. Federalization of State laws regulating artificial intelligence model development.
SEC. 121. Federalization of State laws regulating artificial intelligence model development.
Evidence
Obernolte's House office says he and Rep. Lori Trahan released a discussion draft of the Great American AI Act as a bipartisan federal framework for AI governance, and that the draft is meant to gather stakeholder feedback before formal introduction.
Section 121 of the discussion draft would preempt state laws specifically regulating AI model development, and the section would expire three years after enactment unless Congress reauthorized it sooner.
Assessments
Obernolte materially advanced a closely matching federal framework by releasing a discussion draft that would preempt state AI model-development laws for three years, but it was only a draft and not enacted into law. That supports partial credit for a serious attempt, not full delivery.
