How Trump's 'Big Beautiful Bill' Could Wreck Utah's Groundbreaking AI Laws
- Utah Governor Spencer Cox and state legislators have raised concerns that President Trump's recently approved House bill contains a provision imposing a decade-long ban on state-level AI regulations.
- The moratorium aims to prevent a patchwork of AI laws amid competition with China, but it could undermine Utah's nationally recognized AI framework established to balance innovation and consumer protection.

- The controversy suggests ongoing tensions between federal uniformity efforts and states' rights, with the Senate planning a vote by July 4 that could reshape AI regulatory authority for the next decade.
