Congress floats three-year freeze on state AI laws
Reps. Jay Obernolte (R-CA) and Lori Trahan (D-MA) released a 269-page discussion draft of the Great American AI Act on June 4 — the first substantive bipartisan federal AI framework. It would preempt state laws regulating AI model development for three years while preserving state authority over AI use, codify the Center for AI Standards and Innovation at Commerce ($100M/yr, FY2027–29), and require frontier developers with over $500M revenue to publish frontier AI frameworks. The draft lands three weeks before the July 1 wave of state AI obligations in Connecticut, Tennessee, and New York — and would directly squeeze the Colorado, Texas, and California regimes.
