No. 1651 CHAPTER 116 An act to add Section 6060.15 to the Business and Professions Code, relating to attorneys. [ Approved by Governor August 22, 2026. Filed with Secretary of State August 22, 2026. ] LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST AB 1651, Dixon.
State Bar of California: artificial intelligence. Existing law, the State Bar Act, provides for the licensure and regulation of attorneys by the State Bar of California (State Bar), a public corporation governed by a board of trustees. Existing law authorizes the State Bar to establish an examining committee, also known as the Committee of Bar Examiners, with powers that include examining applicants for admission to practice law. Existing law requires an applicant for admission and licensure to practice law to meet specified requirements, including passing a general bar examination given by the examining committee, and authorizes certain experienced attorneys to take an attorneys’ examination instead. Existing law requires specified applicants to take a first-year law students’ examination administered by the examining committee. Existing law defines “artificial intelligence” as, among other
things, a machine-based system that varies in its level of autonomy and that can generate outputs, which can influence physical or virtual environments. This bill would require the State Bar to disclose, on its internet website, the use of artificial intelligence-generated content, as defined, in developing or administering the State Bar examinations described above. The bill would require the State Bar to disclose, on the cover page of study materials, the use of artificial intelligence-generated content in examination study material it, among other things, publishes or endorses. The bill would only require these disclosures for content developed by or at the explicit direction of the State Bar. The bill would apply these disclosure requirements regardless of whether the artificial intelligence-generated content is revised or reviewed by a natural person. The
bill would become operative on January 1, 2028. Digest Key Vote: MAJORITY Appropriation: NO Fiscal Committee: NO Local Program: NO Bill Text The people of the State of California do enact as follows: SECTION 1. Section 6060.15 is added to the Business and Professions Code, to read: 6060.15. (a) For purposes of this section: (1) “Artificial intelligence” means an engineered or machine-based system that varies in its level of autonomy and that can, for explicit or implicit objectives, infer from the input it receives how to generate outputs that can influence physical or virtual environments. (2) “Artificial intelligence-generated content” means visual or textual content that is generated, in whole or in part, by generative artificial intelligence. (3) “Generative artificial intelligence” means artificial intelligence that can generate
derived synthetic content, including text, images, video, and audio, which emulates the structure and characteristics of the artificial intelligence’s training data. (4) “State Bar examinations” means the general bar examination, the first-year law students’ examination, as described in Section 6060, and the attorneys’ examination as described in Section 6062. (b) For any content developed by or at the explicit direction of the State Bar, the State Bar shall disclose the use of artificial intelligence-generated content in developing or administering the State Bar examinations, including any related question, performance
test, answer key, or scoring rubric. (c) For any content developed by or at the explicit direction of the State Bar, the State Bar shall disclose the use of any artificial intelligence-generated content in study material, including sample or practice questions, model answers, selected answers, outlines, explanations, or other instructional materials prepared, published, endorsed, or distributed by the State Bar for use by applicants for the State Bar examinations. (d) Subdivisions (b) and (c) apply regardless of whether the artificial intelligence-generated content is revised or reviewed by a natural person. (e) (1) A disclosure made pursuant to subdivision (b) shall be posted on the State Bar’s internet website 60 days before the examination in which the artificial intelligence-generated content is used. (2) A disclosure made pursuant to subdivision (c) shall be made on the cover page of the study material. (f) This section shall become operative on January 1, 2028.

The commissioner of the department of natural and cultural resources, or his or her designee, may elect to set separate fee schedules for residents and nonresidents for specific uses within any state park, including camping, facility rental, parking, or boat rental, provided that where separate fee schedules are created for any given service or product, residents shall be charged no more than 90 percent of the fee charged to nonresidents. Residency may be indicated by state-issued identification, utility or tax bills, vehicle registrations, student identification, or vehicle license plates. The commissioner, or his or her designee, may also provide discounted or waived rates for veterans, as well as for school or student groups, in recognition of their service or educational purpose.

LBA 26-2492 05/08/2026 HB 1102-FN- FISCAL NOTE AS AMENDED BY THE SENATE (AMENDMENT #2026-1642s) AN ACT increasing the research and development tax credit cap and relative to state park fees for state residents. FISCAL IMPACT: This bill does not provide funding, nor does it authorize new positions. Estimated State Impact FY 2026 FY 2027 FY 2028 FY 2029 Revenue $0 Indeterminable: Under $100,000 Maximum Decrease of $3 million from R&D change/ Indeterminable Impact on Park Fund Revenue (decrease of $1.5m to increase of $2m) Indeterminable Decrease from R&D change/ Indeterminable Impact on Park Fund Revenue (decrease of $1.5m to increase of $2m Revenue Fund(s) General Fund and Education Trust Fund, State Park Fund Expenditures* $0 Indeterminable Increase of $100,000 to $500,000 Indeterminable Increase of $10,000 to $100,000 Indeterminable Increase of $10,000to $100,000 Funding Source(s) State Park Fund Appropriations* $0 $0 $0 $0 Funding Source(s) None *Expenditure = Cost of bill *Appropriation = Authorized funding to cover cost of bill METHODOLOGY: This bill increases the aggregate of Research and Development tax credits (R&D) to be claimed in any fiscal year from $7,000,000 to $10,000,000. The proposed legislation would also increase the maximum credit amount allowed per entity from $50,000 to $100,000, effective January 1, 2026. R&D tax credit applications must be received by June 30 following the tax year during which the research and development occurred. This bill also requires the Department of Natural and Cultural Resources (DNCR) to establish state park entry fees for New Hampshire residents at no more than 50 percent of the fees charged to nonresidents. The bill also allows DNCR to create separate fee schedules for specific uses within state parks, such as camping, facility rental, parking, and boat rentals, and permits discounted or waived rates for veterans and school or student groups. The Department of Revenue Administration (DRA) states the increase in the R&D tax credit will decrease Business Enterprise Tax (BET) and Business Profits Tax (BPT) revenue by an indeterminable amount. This credit is first applied to the BPT and any unused portion of the credit is then applied to the BET. Additionally, the taxpayer is able to carry forward the R&D tax credit for up to 5 years. DRA is not able to determine when a credit would be claimed to predict the fiscal impact of this bill. The maximum impact in the first year is $3,000,000 if the full amount of the tax credit increase is claimed, however any subsequent years are indeterminable as it is not known when carry forward credits would be used. DRA would need to update all necessary tax return forms and electronic management systems related to this bill, however the Department does not anticipate this bill will result in any additional costs that could not be absorbed in its operating budget. The Department of Natural and Cultural Resources (DNCR) states this bill would result in an indeterminable impact on State Park Fund revenues and expenditures. Based on FY 2023 visitation data, DNCR estimates that approximately half of all state park visitors are residents and half are non-residents. If DNCR reduced the day-use fee for residents by 50 percent, revenue would decrease by approximately $1.1 million. Conversely, increasing non-resident day-use fees by 100 percent could generate approximately $2.2 million in additional revenue. However, DNCR anticipates that fee changes of this extent would deter visitation by 5 to 20 percent, reducing the expected revenue gain. DNCR also anticipates implementation costs of more than $100,000 to modify reservation and point-of-sale systems to verify residency and apply differential pricing. Additional costs may occur due to longer entry lines, visitor disputes over residency status, and a multi-year period of fee experimentation needed to stabilize pricing under the new model. Altogether, DNCR estimates an indeterminable change in State Park Fund revenue ranging from a decrease of approximately $1.5 million to an increase of $2 million per fiscal year, starting in FY 2028 with an indeterminable increase in State Park Fund expenditures ranging from approximately $100,000 to $500,000 annually. It is assumed because the effective date of this bill is April 1, 2027, only a small impact will be felt in revenues for fee …

California Grid Manufacturing Initiative. Existing law establishes the Governor’s Office of Business and Economic Development (GO-Biz) within the Governor’s office and requires GO-Biz to serve the Governor as the lead entity for economic strategy and the marketing of California on issues relating to business development, private sector investment, and economic growth. Existing law creates within GO-Biz the Energy Unit to accelerate the planning, financing, and execution of critical energy infrastructure projects, as specified. This bill would require the Energy Unit, in coordination with other specified state entities, to establish the California Grid Manufacturing Initiative. The bill would require the Energy Unit to identify and procure determine and provide appropriate forms of state assistance to address identified delays with critical electricity grid components, as defined, and to incentivize new or existing in-state manufacturing of critical electricity grid components. components, and to provide support to joint procurement initiatives. This bill would require the Energy Unit to develop a process for each public utility, as defined, on or before January 1, 2028, and regularly thereafter, to submit a projection of its purchasing needs for critical electricity grid components for which the public utility has not entered into a purchase agreement and for which the public utility affirmatively seeks the assistance of the Energy Unit in coordinating resources and leveraging purchasing power. The bill would provide that, if the Energy Unit determines that centralized procurement is warranted for a critical electrical grid component, a participating public utility may, prior to the issuance of a solicitation by the Energy Unit for that component, submit to the Energy Unit the conditions under which the public utility commits to purchase those components from the initiative, as provided. Under the bill, if a procurement by the Energy Unit satisfies the conditions submitted by a public utility, the public
utility’s commitment to purchase the component from the initiative would be binding, as provided. By imposing new duties on local publicly owned electric utilities, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program. This bill would require the Public Utilities Commission, as soon as practicable, and in consultation with the State Energy Resources Conservation and Development Commission and the Independent System Operator, to develop a process to identify critical electricity grid components and to assess the statewide need for critical electricity grid components for the next 10-year period. The bill would require the assessment to include identification of specific strategies to reduce delays and ratepayer costs associated with the procurement of critical electricity grid components. The bill would require the Public Utilities Commission to determine, for each
critical electricity grid component, whether requiring electrical corporations to engage in the joint procurement of the critical electricity grid component would further the purposes of the bill, and if the commission makes that determination, and also determines that electrical corporations would benefit from the joint procurement, the bill would authorize the Public Utilities Commission to require electrical corporations to engage in a joint procurement to fulfill the projected purchasing needs of each participating electrical corporation for the critical electricity grid component, as provided. This bill would require electrical corporations that are required to engaged in a joint procurement pursuant to the bill to, not more than 12 months following the imposition of the requirement, take certain actions, including engaging in a joint cooperative process for the sourcing and negotiation of joint purchase agreements for the purchase of critical electricity grid
components. This bill would authorize the Energy Unit to issue requests for proposals or other competitive solicitations to procure critical electricity grid components, as provided, and would authorize the Energy Unit to provide financial assistance to projects that establish or expand manufacturing capacity in California for electrical critical electricity grid components, as specified. The bill would also authorize the Energy Unit to enter into production joint ventures with qualified private suppliers, as provided, and to provide bond financing and other assistance. The bill would authorize the Public Utilities Commission to authorize the recovery of costs incurred under the initiative only to the extent it determines those costs are just and reasonable, cost-effective, and aligned with state energy policy, as provided. To the extent the joint procurement results in costs below prevailing market prices for critical electricity grid components, the bill would require the commission to ensure that the difference is credited to ratepayers, as provided. Under existing law, a violation of an order, decision, rule, direction, demand, or requirement of the commission is a crime. Because a violation of a commission action implementing certain requirements of the bill would be a crime, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program. Existing law, the Bergeson-Peace Infrastructure and Economic Development Bank Act, establishes the California Infrastructure and Economic Development Bank (I-Bank) within GO-Biz and, among other things, authorizes the I-Bank to make loans, issue bonds, and provide financial assistance for various types of projects that qualify as economic development or public development facilities, as provided.

LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST SB 833, as amended, McNerney.
Critical infrastructure: automated decision artificial intelligence systems: human oversight: adverse event reporting. oversight. Existing law, the California Emergency Services Act, establishes the California Cybersecurity Integration Center within the Office of Emergency Services to serve as the central organizing hub of state government’s cybersecurity activities and to coordinate information sharing with various entities. Existing law also requires the Technology Recovery Plan element of the State Administrative Manual to ensure the inclusion of cybersecurity strategy incident response standards for each state agency to secure its critical infrastructure controls and information, as prescribed. This bill would require require, on or before July 1, 2026, an operator, defined as a
state agency in charge of specified responsible for operating, managing, overseeing, or controlling access to critical infrastructure, that deploys artificial intelligence a covered artificial intelligence (AI) system, as defined, to establish a human oversight mechanism to monitor that ensures a human monitors the system’s operations in real time and review reviews and approve approves any plan or action proposed by the artificial intelligence covered AI system before execution, except as provided. The bill would require the Department of Technology to administer develop specialized training in artificial intelligence AI safety protocols and risk management techniques to oversight personnel. The bill would require oversight personnel for an operator to conduct an annual assessment of its artificial intelligence systems and automated decision covered AI systems, as specified, and to submit a summary of the findings to the department. The bill would make findings and declarations related to its provisions. This bill would require any entity that engages in conduct that could materially impact critical infrastructure safety, security, or operations to report an artificial intelligence (AI) adverse event, as defined, in a form and manner prescribed by the Office of Emergency Services, as provided. The bill would subject each entity that fails to provide an AI adverse event report to a specified civil penalty. The bill would authorize the office to, among other things, authorize public or private entities to receive information about individual events or aggregated statistics for the purpose of collaboratively addressing identified harms, except as provided. The bill would include related findings and declarations. The bill would preclude disclosure of specified information by the office. Existing constitutional provisions require that a statute that limits the right of access to the meetings of public bodies or the writings of public officials and agencies be adopted with findings demonstrating the interest protected by the limitation and the need for protecting that interest. This bill would make legislative findings to that effect. Digest Key Vote: MAJORITY Appropriation: NO Fiscal Committee: YES Local Program: NO Bill Text The people of the State of California do enact as follows: SECTION 1. The Legislature finds and declares all of the following: (a) In response to the rapid advancement of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) and its growing integration across public and private sectors, the Governor issued Executive Order No. N-12-23, which established a comprehensive policy framework to responsibly explore and govern the deployment of GenAI systems within the state. (b) The Governor convened the Joint California Policy Working Group on AI Frontier Models to evaluate the potential risks and governance needs associated with the deployment of powerful artificial
intelligence models. (c) The working group’s 2025 report recommends the establishment of adverse event reporting mechanisms for artificial intelligence systems, especially in high-risk domains such as critical infrastructure, to ensure transparency, accountability, and public safety. (d) The report underscores the importance of centralized, timely, and clear reporting of AI malfunctions or failures that could lead to physical harm, data breaches, or disruption of essential services. These recommendations are echoed by expert consensus on artificial intelligence safety protocols nationally. (e) (c) The Governor’s executive order also emphasized the urgent need for workforce development and training to ensure that public sector employees have the technical expertise and practical tools necessary to oversee and manage artificial intelligence systems safely and effectively.
