Arizona Nears Becoming Third State with AI Content Provenance Law (SB 1786)
Transparency Coalition·medium signal
Arizona's SB 1786 passed the full Senate (March 3) and full House (April 15) and entered reconciliation as the legislature approaches Saturday April 25 adjournment. The bill requires generative AI systems serving Arizona consumers to attach digital provenance metadata (watermarks, edit history) to any generated or significantly altered audio, image, or video. If signed, Arizona joins Utah and Washington as the third state in 2026 with AI provenance requirements.
