On June 22, 2025, Texas Governor Greg Abbott signed the Texas Responsible AI Governance Act (TRAIGA) into law. Despite the ongoing debate in the U.S. Senate over the provision in the reconciliation bill that declares a moratorium on the ability of states to legislate artificial intelligence (AI), the signing of HB 149 is a declaration that states will continue to legislate when it comes to consumer protection and the AI use unless such is preempted by a final passed reconciliation bill.
