 3 § 1430. Minimum standards. 1. The office shall adopt regulations no

 5 of the state administrative procedure act to require large frontier
 6 developers' frontier AI frameworks to meet minimum standards in order to
 7 prevent unreasonable levels of catastrophic risk.

 13 the economic development law, the attorney general, members of civil
 14 society, frontier model developers, and foundation model developers in
 15 drafting such regulations.
 16 4. The office shall review the regulations promulgated under this
 17 section on an annual basis. Where the office deems necessary, the office

 19 understanding of catastrophic risk, technical advancements in frontier
 20 models, critical safety incidents that have occurred, and/or identified
 21 gaps in existing regulations.
 22 § 2. This act shall take effect on the thirtieth day after it shall
 23 have become a law; provided, however, that if article 44-B of the gener-
 24 al business law, as added by chapter 96 of the laws of 2026, shall not
 25 have taken effect on or before such date then this act shall take effect
 26 thirty days after such article takes effect.
