State Bar of California: artificial intelligence.

The bill was formally enacted as Chapter 116, with the Governor's approval date of August 22, 2026 recorded in the header.

Document formatting changed from the enrolled bill layout (with Assembly/Senate passage lines and blank signature fields) to the standard authenticated electronic legal material format used for published statutes.

Removed a stray word 'The' at the start of subdivision (b) of Section 6060.15, changing 'The For any content developed by...' to 'For any content developed by...'

Removed a stray word 'The' at the start of subdivision (c) of Section 6060.15, making the same grammatical correction as in subdivision (b)

Added standard enrolled bill boilerplate including passage dates (Assembly August 3, 2026; Senate June 25, 2026), clerk and secretary signature lines, and a governor approval block

Removed amendment tracking headers ('AMENDED IN SENATE JUNE 18, 2026' and 'AMENDED IN ASSEMBLY MARCH 26, 2026'), the original introduction date, the sponsor line, and the vote/appropriation/fiscal committee summary block

Added the phrase 'For any content developed by or at the explicit direction of the State Bar' to both subdivision (b) (examination materials) and subdivision (c) (study materials), limiting the disclosure obligation to only content the State Bar itself created or explicitly directed, rather than all materials it publishes or endorses.

The legislative summary was updated to reflect the new limitation, adding: 'The bill would only require these disclosures for content developed by or at the explicit direction of the State Bar.'

Removed a duplicated word ('disclose disclose' corrected to 'disclose'), fixed page numbering (98 to 97), and cleaned up a stray leftover subsection number from prior renumbering.

The definition of 'artificial intelligence-generated content' was narrowed from content generated by 'artificial intelligence' to content generated by 'generative artificial intelligence,' excluding non-generative AI systems from the disclosure requirement.

A new definition of 'generative artificial intelligence' was added, defined as AI that can generate derived synthetic content (text, images, video, audio) emulating the structure and characteristics of its training data.

Disclosure of AI use in developing or administering State Bar examinations must now be posted on the State Bar's internet website at least 60 days before the examination in which the content is used. Previously, no specific method or timing was required.

Disclosure of AI use in study materials must now appear on the cover page of the study material. Previously, no specific location for the disclosure was specified.
