Purpose: The purpose of this tracker is to identify key federal and state health AI policy activity and summarize laws relevant to the use of AI in health care. The below reflects activity from July 1, 2025 through October 11th, 2025. This newsletter is published on a quarterly basis. 

Activity on AI in health care has been at the forefront of the AI debate during 2025 state legislative sessions, and is increasingly being discussed at the federal level: As of October 11th, 2025, 47 states have introduced over 250 AI bills impacting health care and 21 states passed 33 of those bills which have been enacted into law.

Notwithstanding the decrease in AI-focused legislation in Q3, numerous states took significant action. And as always, California was one to watch.

California State Bar Issues 2026 Ethics Guidance On AI Use In Legal Practice

Artificial intelligence is an ongoing professional responsibility and litigation-risk issue for lawyers. The California State Bar recently published new guidance. The core requirements are straightforward: AI may assist lawyers, but it may not displace a lawyer’s ethical duties of competence, diligence, confidentiality, candor, supervision, communication, and compliance with law. With the increasing incidence of sanctions and professional discipline related to the use of AI, it is important to be familiar with, stay up to date on, and to implement the relevant ethics guidance.
