- The Secretary of Commerce will evaluate existing State AI laws to identify those conflicting with federal policy or compelling AI models to alter truthful outputs.
- States with onerous AI laws may be deemed ineligible for certain federal funding, including non-deployment funds under the BEAD Program.
- Federal agencies will consider conditioning discretionary grants on States not enacting AI laws conflicting with federal policy or agreeing not to enforce such laws.
- The FCC will explore adopting a Federal reporting and disclosure standard for AI models to preempt conflicting State laws.
- The FTC will issue a policy statement on how State laws mandating deceptive AI outputs are preempted by federal law.
- A legislative recommendation will be prepared to establish a uniform Federal AI policy framework, preempting conflicting State laws while preserving certain State authorities.
