• If you are a large frontier developer (a frontier developer whose group had annual gross revenues over $500,000,000 in the prior calendar year), write, implement and publish on your website a frontier AI framework describing how you define and assess catastrophic-risk thresholds for your frontier models and apply mitigations, and review that framework at least once a year
• If you are a large frontier developer, make your published frontier AI framework describe your cybersecurity practices to secure unreleased model weights from unauthorized modification or transfer by internal or external parties (Section 22757.12(a)(7))
• Before or when you deploy a new or substantially modified frontier model, publish a transparency report giving the model's release date, supported languages, output modalities, intended uses, and any generally applicable restrictions
• If you are a large frontier developer, add to that transparency report summaries of your catastrophic-risk assessments, their results, and the extent of any third-party evaluator involvement
• If you are a large frontier developer, transmit summaries of catastrophic-risk assessments from your frontier models' internal use to the California Office of Emergency Services on a quarterly or agreed schedule
• If you are a frontier developer, report a critical safety incident pertaining to one or more of your frontier models to the Office of Emergency Services within 15 days of discovering it; if you discover information about the incident after filing, you may file an amended report (Section 22757.13(c))
• If you are a frontier developer, disclose a critical safety incident that poses an imminent risk of death or serious physical injury within 24 hours of discovering that it does so, to an authority, including any law enforcement agency or public safety agency with jurisdiction, that is appropriate based on the nature of the incident and as required by law (Section 22757.13(c)(2))
• Do not make a materially false or misleading statement about catastrophic risk from your frontier models, or, if you are a large frontier developer, about your compliance with your own frontier AI framework
• Do not retaliate against a covered employee who discloses, in good faith and with reasonable cause, that your activities pose a catastrophic-risk danger to public health or safety or that you violated this Act; if you are a large frontier developer, also provide an internal channel for anonymous disclosure of that kind
