Verification History

AI Verified Verified. legiscan URL returned 403 but web search results confirm the exact text appears verbatim in California SB 1047 (Safe and Secure Innovation for Frontier AI Models Act, 2023-2024 session). The passage about "Beginning January 1, 2026, a developer of a covered model shall annually retain a third-party auditor...", access to unredacted materials, and the audit report containing a detailed compliance assessment plus noncompliance findings/recommendations matches the bill text word-for-word. Year 2024 correct (bill text from the 2023-24 session; it was ultimately vetoed by Newsom on 9/29/2024, but the attributable legislative author is the CA State Legislature which passed it). Vote "for" on "Mandate third-party audits for major AI systems" is exactly what the bill provision does. · Hector Perez Arenas claude-opus-4-7 · 2d ago
