GUARDRAILS Act
The GUARDRAILS Act repeals a December 2025 executive order on artificial intelligence policy and prohibits federal funding for its implementation. This legislation directly affects federal agencies by removing their authority to enforce the previous executive order's framework. The bill does not create new AI regulations but instead eliminates the existing executive order that established a national policy framework for artificial intelligence.
