Georgia Legislature Sends AI Chatbot Child Safety Bill SB 540 to Governor on Final Session Day
Georgia Legislature / Transparency Coalition·medium signal
Georgia's legislature adjourned April 6 after sending SB 540 to Governor Kemp — requiring AI chatbot operators to disclose AI nature every 3 hours (every hour for minors), implement suicide/self-harm detection protocols referencing the 988 Lifeline, and provide parental tools for screen time and safety management. This follows Washington State's first-in-nation chatbot law signed days earlier, with the Transparency Coalition tracking 78 chatbot bills across 27 states. SB 540 also prohibits sexualized or manipulative chatbot behavior toward minors.
