Assembly Bill 1651 (Chapter 116) adds Section 6060.15 to the Business and Professions Code, requiring the State Bar of California to disclose when artificial intelligence-generated content is used in developing or administering its bar examinations and related study materials. Specifically, for any AI-generated content developed by or at the explicit direction of the State Bar, the bill mandates two types of disclosure: (1) a notice posted on the State Bar's website at least 60 days before any examination in which AI-generated content is used—covering questions, performance tests, answer keys, and scoring rubrics—and (2) a disclosure on the cover page of any study materials the State Bar prepares, publishes, endorses, or distributes, including sample questions, model answers, outlines, and other instructional content. These disclosure requirements apply regardless of whether a human has reviewed or revised the AI-generated content. The bill defines 'artificial intelligence-generated content' as visual or textual content generated in whole or in part by generative AI, and 'State Bar examinations' as the general bar examination, the first-year law students' examination (Section 6060), and the attorneys' examination (Section 6062). The bill takes effect and becomes operative on January 1, 2028.
