SB 813 would create a California AI Standards and Safety Commission by July 1 2027

SB 813 requires the Business and Consumer Services Agency to set up a California Artificial Intelligence Standards and Safety Commission on or before July 1 2027. The bill defines the commission’s membership and tasks, including developing standards for AI system assessments by auditors, creating procedures for suspending or terminating an auditor’s registration, and establishing criteria for auditors to qualify as independent verification organizations.

The bill also says the commission’s provisions become inoperative if AB 1709 is enacted and an e‑Safety Advisory Commission is created under that measure. Additionally, the commission’s actions are contingent on the enactment of AB 1405 of the 2025–26 Regular Session.

Because the bill’s effective date is listed as unknown, it has been introduced but is not yet in force. No date is provided for when the law would become active.
