Oppose Federal AI Preemption
Over 30 states have taken meaningful steps to protect their residents from the risks of artificial intelligence — passing laws that address everything from AI-generated deepfakes to nonconsensual imagery and child exploitation material. Now, there are active efforts in Congress and from the executive branch to preempt those protections.
Congressional efforts have included a proposed 10-year moratorium on state AI laws in H.R. 1 and similar language attached to the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). In December 2025, President Trump signed an executive order aimed at nullifying state AI laws, despite questions about whether the executive branch has the legal authority to do so. The order would also create an 'AI Litigation Task Force' to challenge states with AI regulations and threaten to cut off federal broadband funding to states that do not comply.
A federal ban on state AI regulation would remove consumer protections that states have carefully crafted, potentially handing significant advantages to large technology companies. Without these guardrails, harmful AI applications could proliferate with limited accountability.
Congress should reject any legislative effort to preempt state AI laws and instead pursue strong, effective federal regulation that protects consumers.

Hello, I am an assistant calling on behalf of a constituent, {{first_name}} {{last_name}} from {{city}}, {{state}} zip code {{zip_code}}. The constituent is calling to express concern about ongoing federal efforts — both in Congress and from the White House — to block states from regulating artificial intelligence. More than 30 states have passed laws to protect people from harms such as deepfakes and AI-generated exploitation material, and federal preemption efforts would render those laws unenforceable. The constituent is asking that {{representative_name}} oppose any legislation or amendment that would impose a moratorium on state AI regulation, and urges {{representative_name}} to speak out against the executive order targeting these state laws. Rather than shielding large technology companies from accountability, Congress should work to enact meaningful federal AI consumer protections.

I am calling on behalf of {{first_name}} {{last_name}}, a constituent from {{city}}, {{state}} {{zip_code}}. This message is to urge {{representative_name}} to oppose any federal effort to ban or preempt state-level AI regulation. Over 30 states have passed important protections for their residents, and blocking those laws would benefit large technology corporations at the expense of everyday Americans. Please work to protect these state safeguards and push for strong federal AI regulation instead. You may contact me at {{phone_number}} to discuss further.
