California Health Care Services: Artificial Intelligence, Worker Professional Judgment (AB 2575)

Properties

jurisdiction: US, California
level: state
domain: sectoral
status: vetoed
scope: Would have protected health care workers' right to use professional judgment when using AI clinical decision support and addressed liability for failing to override AI output.
appliesTo: health care employers and workers providing direct patient care in California
officialUrl: https://www.gov.ca.gov/2026/09/30/governor-newsom-issues-legislative-update-9-30-2026/
notes: Vetoed by Governor Newsom on September 30, 2026: the Governor's own legislative update of that date lists AB 2575 by Assemblymember Liz Ortega (Health care services: artificial intelligence) among the vetoed bills. The veto message itself was not read. The description of what the bill would have done (right to use professional judgment, anti-retaliation, no severed-responsibility defense, Labor Commissioner enforcement) comes from the CalMatters Digital Democracy aggregator and was not checked against bill text. Recorded for the same reason as ca-sb1047. Distinct from the enacted AB 1979 and SB 503.
