 STATE OF NEW YORK
 ________________________________________________________________________

 10373

 IN SENATE

 May 15, 2026
 ___________

 Introduced by Sen. GOUNARDES -- read twice and ordered printed, and when
 printed to be committed to the Committee on Internet and Technology

 AN ACT to amend the general business law and the public officers law, in
 relation to third party verification of compliance with transparency
 and safety requirements for developers of artificial intelligence
 models

 The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-
 bly, do enact as follows:

 1 Section 1. Section 1420 of the general business law is amended by
 2 adding a new subdivision 17 to read as follows:
 3 17. "Third party verifier" means a person, other than an affiliate of
 4 a large frontier developer, who is retained, contracted, or otherwise
 5 engaged by a large frontier developer to verify such developer's compli-
 6 ance with such developer's frontier AI framework.
 7 § 2. Sections 1425, 1426, 1427, 1428 and 1429 of the general business
 8 law are renumbered sections 1426, 1427, 1428, 1429 and 1430 respective-
 9 ly, and a new section 1425 is added to read as follows:
 10 § 1425. Third party verification. 1. A large frontier developer shall
 11 annually retain, contract, or otherwise engage a third party verifier to
 12 produce a report assessing the following:
 13 (a) whether a large frontier developer has complied with its frontier
 14 AI framework as well as any instances of noncompliance with such frame-
 15 work;
 16 (b) where such AI framework may require additional clarity and detail
 17 in order to better assess compliance;
 18 (c) whether any redactions made by the large frontier developer pursu-
 19 ant to subdivision five of section fourteen hundred twenty-one of this
 20 article are in compliance with such subdivision;
 21 (d) whether any statements made by the large frontier developer to the
 22 public, office, attorney general, or to other governmental entities
 23 regarding catastrophic risk from such developer's frontier model, such
 24 developer's management of such risk, and/or such developer's compliance
 25 with such developer's frontier AI framework are inconsistent with the
 26 findings of the third party verifier's report.

 EXPLANATION--Matter in italics (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
 [ ] is old law to be omitted.

 5 tier developer pursuant to section fourteen hundred twenty-one of this
 6 article; and
 7 (c) Any other materials reasonably necessary to perform the assessment
 8 provided in subdivision one of this section.
 9 3. In retaining, contracting, or otherwise engaging a third party
 10 verifier, a large frontier developer shall not condition any payment or
 11 form of compensation to a third party verifier upon the results of such
 12 verifier's assessment.
 13 4. Prior to January first, two thousand twenty-nine, a large frontier
 14 developer may retain, contract, or otherwise engage a third party veri-
 15 fier of their choosing, provided that such developer may not retain,
 16 contract, or otherwise engage a third party verifier with a financial
 17 stake in such developer, nor may they retain, contract, or otherwise
 18 engage a third party verifier in which such developer has a financial
 19 stake.
