Plain-Language Summary

AI-generated summary. We recommend consulting the bill text for important decisions.

Utah's Office of Artificial Intelligence Policy, created in 2024, runs a program that allows AI companies to test their technologies under special agreements that temporarily reduce or clarify regulatory requirements. This bill updates and expands how that program works by adding a new type of agreement — a "joint interpretation agreement" — that lets companies, the state office, and relevant agencies formally clarify how existing laws apply to a specific AI technology, alongside the existing "regulatory mitigation agreements" that can temporarily reduce penalties or enforcement. The bill also extends the program's reach beyond state agencies to include courts, schools, and local governments; requires agreements to specify consumer disclosure requirements and audit reporting; requires the office to conduct regular audits of participating companies; and shifts the program's stated goal from encouraging AI "development" to encouraging "responsible deployment."
