Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., is calling on the Senate to strike a provision from the “One Big Beautiful Bill,” backed by President Donald Trump, that addresses AI regulation.
Ms. Greene said in a June 3 post on X that the bill would prevent states from enacting or enforcing AI-related laws for 10 years.
“I am adamantly opposed to this and it is a violation of state rights and I would have voted no if I had known this was in there,” she wrote. “We have no idea what AI will be capable of in the next 10 years and giving it free rein and tying states’ hands is potentially dangerous.”
Ms. Greene added that she will vote against the bill if the provision remains when it returns to the House after Senate revisions.
“We should be reducing federal power and preserving state power,” she wrote. “Not the other way around.”
The bill passed the House of Representatives on May 22 and is now before the Senate.
The debate comes after Elon Musk called the legislation a “massive, outrageous … spending bill.”
