Sectoral AI Governance Act of 2026

This bill would let any federal agency that enforces a federal law write rules on the use of algorithmic decision-making systems, including artificial intelligence, when the agency finds that a system's use is likely to materially contribute to violations of that law. Breaking such a rule would be treated as breaking the underlying law for agency enforcement. Before proposing a rule, agencies would generally publish an advance notice seeking public comment and would consult with White House regulatory and science offices. Agencies would review each rule within 3 years and at least every 5 years after, and would send reports to Congress every 2 years. States could still regulate these systems unless their rules conflict with this law or rules issued under it.
