What this law does
Drafted with AI from the cited sources under the direction of UnGovr staff. UnGovr holds editorial responsibility for this page.
This act requires any healthcare provider or healthcare facility that employs AI to document an in-person or telehealth visit to notify patients that AI was used for that purpose, and to review the AI-generated documentation for accuracy after the visit. "Healthcare facility" carries the meaning given at section 23-17-2, which reaches a facility whether public or private, so the duty binds a government-run facility as well as a private one. The act's own text states it takes effect upon passage.
Contemporaneous Rhode Island state-policy reporting describes it as signed into law alongside two related AI bills in June 2026, but the exact signing date and session-law chapter number are not confirmed in a primary session-law record.
