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.

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.
