ConnecticutAI regulation

Regulation Status

• Connecticut has not enacted a comprehensive AI statute despite being among the most active states in trying. Senator James Maroney's flagship omnibus bill, Senate Bill 2 (An Act Concerning Artificial Intelligence), which would have imposed developer and deployer duties and algorithmic-discrimination safeguards on high-risk AI, passed the Senate 32-4 on 14 May 2025 but died in the House when it was not called for a vote before adjournment on 4 June 2025; Governor Ned Lamont had signaled he would veto it, as he did a similar 2024 version. As of 2026 the state's AI rules therefore sit within pre-existing privacy, government, and consumer-protection frameworks rather than a standalone AI law.
• The state's binding measures include the Connecticut Data Privacy Act (Conn. Gen. Stat. § 42-515 et seq., effective 1 July 2023), which lets consumers opt out of profiling in furtherance of solely automated decisions with legal or similarly significant effects and requires data protection assessments, enforced at up to $5,000 per violation. Public Act 25-113 (Senate Bill 1295), effective 1 July 2026, amends the CTDPA to require controllers to disclose in their privacy notice whether they collect, use, or sell personal data to train large language models, subject to the same penalty. An earlier government-facing law, Senate Bill 1103, requires the Department of Administrative Services to inventory and assess state-agency AI systems for unlawful discrimination or disparate impact and directs agencies to adopt AI procurement and implementation policies.
• Connecticut also regulates algorithmic pricing in a narrow sector: Conn. Gen. Stat. § 13b-118 governs transportation-network-company dynamic pricing, requiring advance notice, fare estimation, rider confirmation, and a 2.5x surge cap during declared emergencies, backed by registration suspension or revocation and fines up to $50,000 for operating without a valid registration.
