The AI Advertising Disclosure Act is in the House Committee on Energy and Commerce. It has not moved since August 24, 2026. The committee members must decide whether to hold a vote on the bill before it can move forward.
This bill faces a tough path because it lacks bipartisan support and was introduced by a member of the minority party. Tech companies may also lobby against the new requirements.

“The term ``covered entity'' means any person, company, or organization that deploys or operates a covered tool for consumer-facing use with more than 50,000 monthly active users.”
