Tracking AI legislation in the United StatesUpdated Monday, Oct 12, 2026 · refreshed weekly
AI Docket

About this project

What the tracker covers, where the data comes from, and who runs it.

What this is

AI Docket follows artificial-intelligence-related bills across the U.S. Congress and all 50 states (plus DC) — from introduction through enactment or veto. Every bill gets a plain-language summary and one or more policy-topic tags so you can scan what's moving without reading statute text.

The audience is policy researchers, journalists, and builders. The tone aims to be neutral and factual: the tracker records what bills do, not whether they're good ideas.

How it works

Once a week, an automated routine pulls LegiScan's legislative datasets for new and updated bills matching AI-related search terms, then classifies each candidate — is it substantively about AI, which policy topics does it touch — and writes a short summary. Classification and summaries are AI-generated and reviewed for obvious errors, but mistakes are possible: always verify against the official bill text linked on each bill page.

Bills from past sessions are kept when they were enacted into law or vetoed; pending bills are tracked for current sessions only. A public read-only JSON API is available at /api/bills.

Status terms

Introduced
Filed in a chamber; hasn't passed it yet.
Engrossed
Passed the chamber where it was introduced.
Enrolled
Passed both chambers in the same form and sent to the governor or president.
Enacted
Became law: signed, allowed to take effect without a signature, or passed over a veto.
Vetoed
Vetoed by the governor or president and not overridden.
Failed
Died: voted down, withdrawn, or not passed before the session ended.

Nebraska's legislature and the D.C. Council have a single chamber, so engrossed and enrolled map less neatly there.

Who runs this

Built and maintained by Edward Paulino as an independent, non-commercial project. I wanted a single place to see how US AI policy is actually moving — not just the headline bills — and decided to build it in public.

Spotted an error or a missing bill? I'd genuinely like to know.
