CA SB 420 (automated decision systems), CA SB 1000 (AI Transparency Act amendments), and CA AB 1979 (healthcare AI) were all enrolled and presented to the Governor this week — covering ADS impact-assessment governance, GenAI provenance expansion, and a categorical prohibition on AI in clinical judgment in one signature queue.
