What this can and cannot do

This is a request, not a law. The City Council is asking the New York State Legislature and the Governor to act, because the subject is outside the city's authority. Passing it commits the city to a position; it does not change the rule.

Summary

Regulate the use of artificial intelligence in the provision of therapy or psychotherapy services (S.8484/A.9106).
