What it does
Frontier AI developers must publish transparency reports when they deploy models and report critical safety incidents to a new DFS oversight office within 72 hours, or within 24 hours to authorities where there is imminent risk of death or injury. Large frontier developers must also publish and annually update a Frontier AI Framework, submit catastrophic-risk assessments, file disclosure statements with DFS every two years, and pay a share of the office's costs. The March 2026 chapter amendment realigned the law closely with California SB 53.

- Frontier developers training models with more than 10^26 FLOPs; large frontier developers are those with $500 million or more in prior-year revenue, including affiliates.
- Penalties
