Drafted with AI from the cited sources under the direction of UnGovr staff. UnGovr holds editorial responsibility for this page.

SB 168, titled to regulate the use of chatbots by minors, was introduced January 29, 2026 by Senator Liz Larson and referred to the Senate Judiciary Committee. The bill was amended in committee (Amendment 168B) and then deferred to the 41st legislative day on February 12, 2026, a procedural motion that kills a bill because the session has no 41st legislative day; it did not advance further.
