U S Senators Cantwell and Blackburn back a provision in a tax and budget bill to ban states from enforcing AI laws for 10 years. Opposition comes from 40 states including Washington and Tennessee, citing risk to consumer protection and rights, with Washington citing strict AI disclosures and digital likeness protections. The measure would tie Broadband Equity funding to compliance, urging broader state action against federal limits.
