Overview: Bill Number: A 9097, Title: Requires disclosure of use of generative artificial intelligence to clients, criminal defendants, and the court, Status: REFERRED TO JUDICIARY, Introduced: September 12, 2025

Purpose and Intent: This bill aims to address the growing use of generative artificial intelligence (AI) systems, such as chatbots and content generators, in professional services and legal proceedings. The goal is to ensure transparency and informed consent when these AI tools are utilized.

Key Provisions:
- Requires professionals (e.g., lawyers, accountants, consultants) to disclose to clients if they are using generative AI systems to provide services
- Mandates that criminal defense attorneys inform their clients and the court if they are using generative AI for case preparation or presentation
- Establishes guidelines for disclosures, including the specific AI system used and its capabilities/limitations
- Empowers clients and defendants to request that human-generated work be provided instead of AI-generated content

Affected Parties and Impacts:
- Professionals who utilize generative AI systems in their work will be required to disclose this to clients
- Criminal defendants will have the right to know if their attorney is using generative AI and can request human-generated work
- Clients and defendants may have increased trust and confidence in the services provided if they are aware of the use of AI tools

Procedural and Timeline Considerations:
The bill has been referred to the Judiciary committee for consideration. If passed, the disclosure requirements would take effect immediately for all relevant professional services and legal proceedings.
