CA AB 2575: new version, 09/04/26 - Enrolled
Summary
California AB 2575, a bill governing AI clinical decision support systems in healthcare, was enrolled and presented to the Governor on September 15, 2026, but was vetoed on September 30, 2026. The bill would have prohibited employers from retaliating against healthcare workers who exercise independent clinical judgment rather than follow AI outputs, and would have barred defendants who deployed clinical decision support systems from asserting that a clinician's failure to override the system constitutes a superseding cause severing liability. Because the Governor vetoed the bill, it did not become law.
What this may mean
The veto means AB 2575 does not take effect, so California healthcare employers, health systems, and clinical decision support vendors face no new statutory retaliation prohibitions or tort-liability restrictions arising from this bill. The underlying legislative debate signals continued California legislative interest in regulating AI-assisted clinical decision-making and clinician override liability, which may re-emerge in future sessions.
