AB 2575: Health care services: artificial intelligence

Latest action

August 24, 2026. Read second time; ordered to third reading. Senate Appropriations, 13 August: do pass as amended, 5–2.

What the bill does

Would require health facilities using clinical decision support software to make an inventory available to clinicians on request from 1 July 2027, and would bar an AI-tool defendant from asserting a clinician's non-adherence to the tool as a defence.

What it does not do

The official chamber history verified 24 August 2026 ends at second reading, ordered to third reading in the Senate. Subsequent floor activity reported elsewhere is not yet reflected in an official chamber history and is not recorded here. The bill is not law; no facility obligation exists today.

Medical Board context

Item 7.J, August 2026 Board agenda — considered. Official action record pending.

KPSGILL position

No position taken on this bill. KPSGILL has published adjacent work: the model AI Medical Record Integrity Standard reaches the neighbouring problem — provenance for machine-generated clinical text — where AB 2575 reaches tool inventories and the litigation defence. The two are compatible; neither contains the other. The AI & medicine institute carries the full analysis.

What happens next

Next known decision point: August 31, 2026. Floor and enrollment states change quickly at session end; this page records only what the official chamber history establishes, and updates when that history does. Scheduled dates sit on the decision calendar.
