The key question is whether Governor Newsom will sign California Senate Bill 1047, titled the “Safe and Secure Innovation for Frontier Artificial Intelligence Models Act.”
The controversial bill is currently on Governor Newsom’s desk, awaiting action.
The deadline for his decision is September 30, 2024.
Newsom has three options:
Sign the bill into law.
Veto the bill, effectively preventing it from becoming law.
Take no action, in which case the bill will automatically be enacted through a “pocket signature” provision.
