HR 9799: Online Sellers’ Bill of Rights Act of 2026

The Online Sellers' Bill of Rights Act of 2026 aims to protect third-party businesses using major online marketplaces by requiring these platforms to provide greater transparency and due process. Under the bill, the Federal Trade Commission must create rules that limit how long platforms can hold inventory or freeze funds, mandate written notice within 72 hours for any restrictions, and ensure sellers receive at least 30 days' warning before significant policy changes. The law also establishes a presumption of innocence, placing the burden of proof on the platform to demonstrate a violation rather than on the seller, and allows for specific appeals processes. Enforcement is handled through the FTC, which can pursue violations as unfair competition, while state attorneys general and individual sellers retain the right to file civil lawsuits for damages.

S 5225: K–12 AI Literacy and Readiness Act of 2026

The K-12 AI Literacy and Readiness Act of 2026 allows federal education funds to be used for teaching artificial intelligence to students and training educators on how to use it responsibly. By amending the Elementary and Secondary Education Act, the bill permits schools to spend money on AI curricula that focus on safe and effective usage, as well as professional development for teachers and staff. This change directly affects state and local school districts by expanding the list of allowable expenses to include specific instruction on AI tools and the skills needed to teach them. The legislation defines artificial intelligence using the same standard established in the National Artificial Intelligence Initiative Act of 2020 to ensure consistency across programs.

S 5117: Senior Chatbot Protection Act of 2026

The Senior Chatbot Protection Act of 2026 establishes safety and transparency rules for artificial intelligence chatbots used by older adults in the United States. It requires companies to clearly disclose that their chatbots are not human beings or licensed professionals and mandates specific warnings when the chatbot offers advice on high-stakes matters like healthcare or finances. The law also forces chatbots to detect signs of crisis, such as suicidal thoughts, and immediately refer users to human support services while prohibiting the AI from giving dangerous medical or self-harm advice. Additionally, the bill restricts how user conversations are stored and processed, requiring affirmative consent for data training and giving users the ability to delete their chat history. Enforcement is handled by the Federal Trade Commission, which can impose penalties for violations, while the National Institutes of Standards and Technology will develop voluntary guidelines for safe AI design.

S 5157: Reimagining Education and Skills through Unified Longitudinal Talent Systems (RESULTS) Act of 2026

The RESULTS Act of 2026 provides federal funding to help states build and modernize systems that connect data across education and workforce sectors, from early childhood programs to employment outcomes. These grants require states to create secure databases that link records from schools, colleges, and job training programs while protecting student privacy and allowing for data analysis by researchers and policymakers. The bill also mandates that states establish specific leadership roles, such as a Chief Data Officer, and use the funds to improve how they report on student success and labor market trends. Additionally, the legislation updates existing rules to allow states to use national wage records for measuring job placement outcomes and encourages the adoption of standardized data formats to ensure information can be easily shared across different states.

S 5055: National Workforce Transition Fund Act of 2026

This bill creates a temporary National Workforce Transition Fund to help workers and employers manage labor market changes caused by artificial intelligence and emerging technologies. The fund is financed by exempting AI data centers from certain tax depreciation limits, with the resulting revenue transferred to the Treasury and then allocated to the fund over five years. A new National Workforce Transition Board will oversee the program, developing strategies to assess workforce impacts and directing resources toward training, job placement, and employer retention initiatives. The legislation prioritizes support for workers facing employment disruption without requiring them to prove that technology was the sole cause of their job loss, while also funding improvements to labor market data systems. All provisions related to the fund and workforce activities are set to expire five years after the bill is enacted.
