Sectoral AI Governance Act of 2026
To authorize the head of agencies to issue rules related to the uses of algorithmic decision-making systems that are likely to materially contribute to violations of Federal laws that the agency is authorized to enforce, and for other purposes.
HB9125, also known as the Sectoral AI Governance Act of 2026, aims to allow agency heads to create rules about how algorithmic decision-making systems are used. This is especially for systems that could lead to violations of federal laws that the agency is responsible for enforcing. The bill was introduced on June 3, 2026, and is currently in the early stages of the legislative process.
This bill would mainly affect federal agencies and organizations that use algorithmic decision-making systems. By establishing clear rules, it seeks to prevent these systems from being used in ways that might break federal laws. It could impact businesses and sectors that rely heavily on automated decision-making processes.
HB9125 was introduced on June 3, 2026, and has been referred to the Committee on the Judiciary and the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform. These committees will review the bill and may schedule hearings to discuss it further. The next steps include committee review, possible amendments, and a vote in the House. This is the current status of the bill in the legislative process.
