Connecticut Senate Passes Comprehensive AI Bill SB 5 (32-4) — Frontier Model Regulation, AI Sandbox, Youth Protections
Connecticut's Senate Bill 5 passed 32-4, creating one of the most comprehensive state AI frameworks: regulation of 'frontier' AI model developers, a state AI sandbox for testing new technologies, and new rules around youth social media and AI chatbot use. Meanwhile, Florida Governor DeSantis called a special legislative session (April 28-May 1) specifically for his AI Bill of Rights. With 1,561 AI bills introduced across 45 states in 2026, state-level AI regulation is accelerating faster than federal efforts.
