Logging duty
Section 46(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.

What this law does
A subscription-based provider, a person doing business in Connecticut who creates a generative artificial intelligence system that has more than one million users a month and is publicly accessible to consumers for personal use, and who provides it to consumers by subscription, 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.
Government agencies are excluded.
The initial-subscription notice must give material information sufficient to enable a reasonable consumer to decide whether to purchase or maintain the subscription, including any quantitative or qualitative limitations the provider may impose, such as limits on tokens, images generated or modified or transcription services, and including limitations imposed 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 quantity or quality of, any functionality of the system.
A renewal notice must disclose any such limitation or discretion that is new for the renewal term or has been modified since the prior term. A violation is an unfair or deceptive trade practice enforced solely by the Attorney General, and the section creates no private right of action.
Section 46 of Public Act 26-100 carries the duty that Section 1 of Public Act 26-15 first enacted for any subscription-based artificial intelligence technology; Section 67 of Public Act 26-100 repealed that Section 1, effective from passage, before it took effect.
