Louisiana lawmakers are taking proactive steps in embracing the rapidly evolving world of artificial intelligence (AI), blockchain technology, and cryptocurrency. Through House Resolution 317, a new legislative subcommittee focused on these technologies has been established under the House Committee on Commerce. The resolution aims to assess the impact of these innovations on Louisiana’s economy, legislation, and daily life. It calls for the subcommittee to start gathering information and speaking with experts by September 1st, 2025. This will involve analyzing current state-level pilot programs, bills in Congress, and proposed federal regulations to understand how other states are managing these technologies.
