RELATING TO ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE FOR THE PROTECTION OF MINORS.

Added a severability clause (Section 4) to ensure that if any part of the bill is ruled unconstitutional, the remaining parts stay in effect.

Changed the effective date from July 1, 3000, to January 1, 2077, making the law active much sooner than originally drafted.

Expanded the definition of 'service' to include AI systems used by businesses for customer service, technical assistance, and providing information about commercial products.

Updated parental control requirements to allow parents to view, change, and manage privacy and account settings, rather than just setting time limits or restricting features.

Changed the age assurance requirement from preventing access for minors to simply determining whether a user is a minor.

Added new definitions for 'emotional attachment,' 'emotional dependency,' 'relational attachment,' 'romantic relationship,' 'sexual relationship,' and 'sexually explicit content' to clarify specific harmful interactions.

Changed the core requirement from a list of prohibited design practices to a mandate for providers to institute 'reasonable measures' to prevent harm, allowing for more flexibility in implementation.

Modified the rule on human representation to allow AI to claim sentience only if accompanied by a clear, conspicuous disclosure that the user is interacting with a machine.

Updated the ban on sexual and self-harm content to remove the specific exclusion of 'sexualized depictions involving minors,' broadening the restriction on harmful content.

Clarified that generic expressions of politeness, neutral assistance, and safety-oriented responses are exempt from the new restrictions.

Updated the bill header and report title to include the 'Office of Consumer Protection' and changed the bill designation from HD2 to HD3.

Added a specific definition for 'crisis intervention' to clarify when AI must provide immediate support for self-harm or suicide.

Strengthened rules prohibiting AI from claiming to be human when a user is seeking crisis intervention for self-harm or suicide.

Expanded enforcement authority to include the director of the Office of Consumer Protection in addition to the Attorney General.

Added a clause stating that penalties apply even if other existing laws (specifically section 480-3.1) would normally forbid them.

The effective date of the Act was changed from 'upon approval' to 'July 1, 3000'.

The header information was updated to reflect the version as 'HB1782 HD1' with new author and timestamp details.

Minor formatting adjustments were made to the title and section headers to align with standard legislative drafting styles.
