The Nebraska Conversational AI Safety Act (LB 525) requires operators of conversational AI services to disclose that users are talking to a machine. The act was adopted through a floor amendment folding in the standalone chatbot bill LB 1185. It takes effect July 1, 2027.
Disclosure Rules in the Nebraska Conversational AI Safety Act
Minors with accounts must receive a persistent or regularly repeated disclosure that they are interacting with AI. All users must be told when a reasonable person could be misled into thinking the bot is human.
Safeguards for Minors
Operators must implement measures against inappropriate and manipulative content, crisis response protocols for users who express suicidal ideation or self-harm, and limits on addictive engagement patterns. Chatbots may not claim to provide professional mental or behavioral health care. Companies have until July 1, 2027 to comply.
The compliance window gives operators time to build the disclosure cadence and crisis protocols into product roadmaps now.
