A Republican effort to block US states from enforcing new artificial intelligence regulations will remain in President Donald Trump’s massive tax and spending package for now, marking a win for tech companies pushing to stall and override dozens of AI safety laws across the country.

According to Senate Budget Committee Democrats, the Senate parliamentarian said that the AI moratorium complies with the special budgetary rules Republicans are using to advance the bill. If passed, the measure would bar states from enforcing new AI regulations for a decade and would penalize those that do by withholding federal broadband funding.

The Senate parliamentarian advised that the ban on AI regulation can remain in Donald Trump's One Big Beautiful Bill legislation.
