    California SB 574 (Chapter 858, Statutes of 2026): generative AI duties for attorneys and arbitrators — Chaptered (Chapter 858, Statutes of 2026)

    Approved by the Governor and filed with the Secretary of State on 30 September 2026 as Chapter 858, Statutes of 2026. The official status page gives 21 August 2026 as the last amended date, so the chaptered text carries no change from the version enrolled on 4 September 2026. The act has no urgency clause and states no operative date, so under Cal. Const. art. IV §8(c)(1) it goes into effect on 1 January 2027, the first 1 January after a 90-day period from enactment.
