Connecticut Public Act 25-113 (SB 1295) CTDPA and profiling amendments takes effect
Major CTDPA overhaul signed June 25, 2025. Removes solely from automated decision scope: after July 1, 2026, covered decisions include any automated decisions in scope, not just solely automated. New consumer right to contest certain profiling decisions. Privacy notices must state whether data is used to train large language models. Impact assessments for profiling are required separate from existing data protection assessments (unique dual-assessment requirement). Applicability thresholds are dramatically lowered: 35,000 consumers or any entity processing sensitive data or any entity selling personal data, among the broadest nationally. Categorical prohibition on processing minor data for targeted advertising or sale (consent cannot override). Expanded sensitive data includes disability and treatment information, neural data, nonbinary and transgender status, financial account numbers, and government-issued identifiers. GLBA entity-level exemption removed and replaced with a data-level exemption. First CTDPA enforcement action was an $85,000 settlement in 2025. Most amendments effective July 1, 2026; impact assessment rules for new processing activities apply August 1, 2026. Effective in about 82 days, so teams should map obligations and prepare evidence now.

Colorado AI Act (SB 24-205) takes effect
Requires developers and deployers of high-risk AI systems to use reasonable care to protect consumers from algorithmic discrimination in consequential decisions. The law uses a substantial factor test: AI that makes or is a substantial factor in making consequential decisions is in scope, not only fully automated systems. Small deployer exemption: deployers with fewer than 50 employees are exempt from certain obligations if they do not use proprietary AI data. Affirmative defense may apply for organizations that discover and cure violations and align with recognized risk frameworks such as NIST AI RMF. A repeal-and-replace effort may modify obligations before the June 30, 2026 effective date. Plan for current law until replacement is enacted. Effective in about 81 days, so teams should map obligations and prepare evidence now.

Washington SB 5395 (AI in Health Insurance Prior Authorization) takes effect
Enacted as Chapter 157, Laws of 2026; Governor signed March 23, 2026; effective June 11, 2026. AI tools may be used to approve prior authorization requests but may not deny care without human review by a licensed physician or health professional. Managed care organizations must report the percentage of total denials aided by AI. Periodic performance reviews of AI tools required for accuracy and reliability. Effective in about 62 days, so teams should map obligations and prepare evidence now.
- June 9, 2026Low impactEffective dateNY
New York Synthetic Performers Disclosure (SB 8420A) takes effect
Requires conspicuous disclosure in advertisements when AI-generated synthetic performers are used. A synthetic performer is a digitally created asset generated using AI intended to create the impression of a human performer not recognizable as any real person. Exempt: advertisements for expressive works (movies, TV, streaming, games), audio-only ads, and AI language translation. Effective in about 60 days, so teams should map obligations and prepare evidence now.
