What this law does
Drafted with AI from the cited sources under the direction of UnGovr staff. UnGovr holds editorial responsibility for this page.
A supplier of a mental health chatbot, an AI system that simulates the kind of confidential conversation a licensed mental health therapist would have and that the supplier represents or a reasonable person would believe can provide therapy, must cause the chatbot to clearly and conspicuously disclose it is artificial intelligence and not human.
The disclosure must occur before the user can access the chatbot's features, at the start of any interaction after seven days of non-use, and any time the user asks whether AI is being used. This duty is proactive and recurring, materially stronger than the general Chapter 77 duty, and unamended since enactment even though adjoining definitions and enforcement sections were touched in the 2026 session.
