AI Legislative Update: Five State-Level AI Bills Pass Washington Legislature

Washington state passed five AI bills covering disclosure (HB 1170), chatbot child safety (HB 2225), health insurance AI decisions (SB 5395), deepfake protections for minors (SB 5105), and digital likeness property rights (SB 5886). The legislative burst landed the same day the White House framework called for federal preemption of state AI regulation -- a direct collision of state and federal approaches.
