Read The Bill Rather Than Accept What You’re Being Told

Thank you for sending the bill info! It will be my new “book” reading at the beach!! 👍🇺🇸

Came across this:

Summary: The Trump administration’s “One, Big, Beautiful Bill” includes a provision that proposes a ban on all U.S. state regulations of artificial intelligence. Supporters say it could boost innovation, while critics caution that it may leave consumers without key protections in areas like privacy and safety.
Update: As of July 1, the provision banning states from regulating artificial intelligence has been removed from H.B. 1, also known as the “One, Big, Beautiful Bill.”

President Donald Trump’s sweeping tax and spending bill — known as the “One, Big, Beautiful Bill” Act — officially passed the U.S. House of Representatives in May 2025. While the legislation primarily revolves around tax cuts and federal program reductions, a last-minute clause aiming to ban state-level regulations of artificial intelligence has placed the AI industry in the spotlight and sparked some fierce backlash.

In June, the Senate released its own amended version of the provision, in which Senate Republicans say that states wishing to access $500 million in federal BEAD funding cannot enforce any law “limiting, restricting or otherwise regulating artificial intelligence models, artificial intelligence systems or automated decision systems entered into interstate commerce.”

In other words, any state wishing to receive federal broadband expansion funds through fiscal year 2030 must submit to this five-year “temporary pause” to state-enforced AI regulation. The rewritten provision has survived the scrutiny of Senate Parliamentarian Elizabeth MacDonough, who ruled that it doesn’t violate the Byrd rule, according to reporting from The Hill. The Byrd rule aims to make sure bills undergoing reconciliation, such as the “One, Big, Beautiful Bill,” don’t include provisions considered extraneous to the federal budget reconciliation processes. While the AI regulation ban in the House’s version of the bill was not tied to federal funding, the Senate’s version has changed that.

Though the bill still faces a razor-thin margin in the Senate, its passage in the House marks a major step toward becoming federal law — and has intensified concerns that it could severely weaken AI oversight in the United States, exposing consumers to increased privacy, safety and discrimination risks.

How Does Trump’s One, Big, Beautiful Bill Affect AI?
The One, Big, Beautiful Bill contains a clause that effectively bans all U.S. states from regulating artificial intelligence for up to 10 years. Although this could speed up AI development, it could also leave the United States without any AI laws, potentially exposing consumers to various dangers and violations.

No Bill should be this long. I need to verify, but have serious concerns about unfettered Technology and Congress denying States of their Constitutional right to reign some of this Technology in or to be able to set some guidelines pertaining to citizens right to privacy. President Trump has surrounded himself with Technocrats and that should concern the public.

Thanks for the OBBBA link, but even reading the contents it’s impossible to know what it’s all about, the language is almost cryptic and unless you have a specific interest in a particular part of the bill you just can’t know what they’re talking about. Like most legislation coming out of this money wasting pigsty we so euphemistically call Congress this is yet again a waste of our time and above all our money.
