Overview

Utah enacted the Artificial Intelligence Policy Act (SB 149) in March 2024, effective 1 May 2024, the first US state law on generative-AI disclosure: businesses must tell consumers when they are interacting with generative AI if asked, and regulated occupations must disclose proactively. It created the Office of Artificial Intelligence Policy and a learning-laboratory (sandbox) programme, amended in 2025 (SB 226 and SB 332) to narrow disclosure to "high-risk" interactions and extend the sunset, plus HB 452 on mental-health chatbots.

Key policy instruments

Utah (United States) Act / statute In force Binding

Utah Artificial Intelligence Policy Act (SB 149)

Utah Artificial Intelligence Policy Act (SB 149, 2024, as amended by SB 226 and SB 332 in 2025)

Effective 1 May 2024, the Act requires a person using generative AI to interact with a consumer in a consumer transaction to disclose clearly that the consumer is interacting with AI when asked (as amended in 2025, when the interaction is high-risk or on request), and requires providers of regulated occupations (for example health and legal services) to disclose generative-AI use proactively. It states that using AI is no defence to consumer-protection violations, created the Office of Artificial Intelligence Policy and an AI learning laboratory allowing regulatory mitigation agreements, and originally sunset in 2025, extended to 2027.

Applies from 1 May 2024 Verified (reviewed by Bhaskar Bhatt; a factual check against the official source, not a legal review) Official source

Utah mental health chatbot law (HB 452)

Utah HB 452 (2025): Artificial Intelligence Amendments (mental health chatbots, Utah Code 13-72a)

Mental health chatbots must disclose that they are AI; suppliers may not sell or share users' health information or input, or use it to target advertising. A written policy filed with the Division of Professional Licensing gives a supplier an affirmative defence.
