The bill protects federal agency flexibility and lowers compliance burdens for agencies and contractors by blocking an Executive Order's AI rules, but it also halts coordinated federal action on AI—raising risks to safety, civil liberties, and creating regulatory uncertainty for the private sector.
Federal agencies retain autonomy to set AI policy and program decisions instead of being compelled to follow the Executive Order, preserving agency flexibility in managing AI projects and priorities.
Federal agencies, contractors, and their workers will not be required to implement the Executive Order's AI rules, reducing compliance costs and administrative burdens for those operations.
All Americans (taxpayers and consumers) face delayed or halted federal coordination on AI safety, standards, and oversight, increasing risks to consumers and critical infrastructure from uncoordinated AI deployment.
Civil liberties and marginalized groups (including racial and ethnic minorities and people with disabilities) lose EO-driven privacy, bias-mitigation, and accountability measures, raising the risk of discriminatory or privacy-harming AI systems.
Researchers, startups, and companies face regulatory uncertainty without predictable federal AI guidance, complicating investment decisions, product development, and market planning.

Repeals the Dec 11, 2025 Executive Order on a national AI policy and bars federal funds from being used to implement or enforce it.
Repeals the December 11, 2025 Executive Order titled "Ensuring a National Policy Framework for Artificial Intelligence," declares that Order to have no force or effect, and bars use of Federal funds to implement, administer, enforce, or carry out that Executive Order. The law is short and narrowly focused: it removes a specific federal AI policy directive and prevents federal spending to carry it out.
