New York State Senator for the 46th District and sponsor of the 2026 TERMINATOR Act on frontier-AI safety oversight.
No large frontier developer, or contractor or subcontractor thereof, shall discharge, demote, suspend, threaten, harass, discriminate, or otherwise retaliate against an employee or contractor because such employee or contractor, based upon a reasonable belief, discloses information concerning: (a) a violation of this article; (b) a significant safety incident or critical safety incident; (c) a material misrepresentation or omission concerning an independent safety evaluation, frontier AI framework, or compliance with this article; (d) interference with or manipulation of an independent safety evaluation; or (e) a material and unreasonable risk of catastrophic harm. [...] Nothing in this article shall be construed to prohibit or impose liability solely because a person conducts authorized, good-faith safety or security research in accordance with applicable law and reasonable security controls.AI Verified (Sep 18, 2026)

The bill bars frontier developers and contractors from retaliating against workers who disclose safety incidents, evaluation manipulation, or catastrophic risk, and protects authorized good-faith safety research. This directly grants AI-safety whistleblower protections.

The recorded “for” is correct: the bill explicitly protects worker safety disclosures from retaliation and protects good-faith safety research.
