Leek’s SB-482 would establish rights for Floridians regarding AI usage, according to the text. Among other things, it would require AI chatbot platforms to prohibit minors from creating accounts without parental consent. It would authorize the Florida Department for Legal Affairs to bring actions under the state’s Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practices Act. The bill also includes a private right of action.
DeSantis said last week that President Donald Trump can’t block state AI regulation through a recent executive order (see 2512150050). New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) signed an AI bill on Friday (see 2512220061).
