Hurtado)MassachusettsThe major AI-related measure in Boston right now is the statewide privacy bill, S 2619 / H 5479. After years of debate over a Massachusetts-specific data privacy law, legislators now appear poised to pass a bill and join 20 other states with comprehensive consumer privacy laws. The House passed its version, H 5479, on June 4. This is an amended version of the bill passed by the Senate last year (S 2619). Legislators are now fighting over the key elements that differ in the two bills, including: Enforcement: The Senate bill contains no private right of action. The House version contains a limited PRA. In both versions, the state attorney general acts as the main enforcement authority.Right to cure: The Senate bill includes a 60-day cure period, which would sunset in June 2027. The House bill contains no right to cure. Sensitive data: The Senate bill has an outright ban on the sale of all sensitive data. The House version allows the sale of sensitive data (except geolocation data) with affirmative consumer consent. House and Senate negotiators remain in talks to find a version that works for both chambers. S 2619 is the Senate version of the data privacy bill, approved 40-0 in Sept. 2025. H 5479 is the House version of the privacy bill approved 146-0 on June 4, 2026. Three other AI-related bills are in play and moving: S 3164 is a bill to protect children from addictive social media feeds. Introduced on July 2, 2026, via the Senate Ways and Means Committee. Approved by the Senate 38-2 on July 9, now with the House. Full report from WBUR on July 10 here. H 5366 would ban kids under 14 from using social media platforms and require that platforms obtain parental consent for users aged 14 and 15. Approved by the House in April, this bill has since been folded into S 2581, below. S 2581, an Act to promote student learning and mental health. The bill would direct the state Education Department to create a policy regarding the prohibition of electronic devices on school grounds during school hours. (A bell-to-bell policy.) The policy should be updated annually. Individual public schools and districts must adopt some version of the bell-to-bell policy and communicate it to students and parents, and post it on the school’s website, no later than Sept. 1 of each year. This bill was originally introduced and approved by the Senate in 2025. It moved to the House as H 5366, above, in early 2026, was approved and then changed back to S 2581 in May 2026. It currently sits as S 2581, with both House and Senate conference committees having been appointed as of July 20, 2026. (Sen. Cyr, et al) H 4616 concerns the use of AI in healthcare prior authorizations. Reporting date extended to July 31 2026, in the House.

Arbit, et al) New JerseyOn July 20, New Jersey lawmakers officially enacted one of the nation’s first AI-related restrictions on rental housing. A 3497 establishes "Forbidding the Algorithmic Inflation of Rent (FAIR) Act." The FAIR Act makes it a violation of the New Jersey Antitrust Act for a rental property owner to pay for the services of an algorithmic rental price setting coordinator. The Act holds that many “landlords of residential rental housing use property management software to collude to restrain trade and raise residential rental housing prices, which has contributed to recent increases” in New Jersey. The Act holds that the legislature finds this to be illegal collusion subject to antitrust law. Illinois lawmakers passed a similar measure earlier this year, SB 343, although it still awaits enactment by the governor. The New Jersey bill was sponsored by Asm. Yvonne Lopez, Asm. Margie Donlon, and Asm. Chigozie Onyema.
