Logging duty

Section 1(b) conditions a subscription on the provider giving the consumer written notice of the key terms and the consumer giving the provider written notice of acceptance. It never uses the words logs, records, event recording or audit trail, but a provider defending an Attorney General unfair-trade-practice action under subsection (c) cannot show the required notice and acceptance happened without keeping the two written notices, so the duty is implicit.

Takes effect October 1, 2026. A subscription-based provider of an artificial intelligence technology may not enter into or renew a consumer subscription, or collect a fee for one, unless the provider first gives the consumer written notice of the key terms and conditions and the consumer accepts them in writing.

The initial-subscription notice must disclose any quantitative or qualitative limitations the provider may impose, including limitations it may impose in response to the consumer's own conduct, and whether the provider has discretion to limit or eliminate the consumer's access to, or reduce the quality of, the technology's functionality. A renewal notice must disclose any such limitation or discretion that is new or has changed since the prior term.
