House GOP Seeks Federal AI Preemption
19 Nov 2025- House Republicans plan NDAA amendments to preempt state AI laws, backed by Scalise and Trump, aiming for a single federal standard despite prior moratorium failure and diverse state AI rules.
19 Nov 2025
House Republicans are planning to revive an effort to block state-level AI regulations by inserting language into the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), according to reporting. House Majority Leader Steve Scalise told Punchbowl News he’s considering NDAA amendments that would effectively preempt state AI laws. President Donald Trump posted on Truth Social urging a single federal standard, writing, “We MUST have one Federal Standard instead of a patchwork of 50 State Regulatory Regimes… Put it in the NDAA, or pass a separate Bill …”
Tacking AI preemption onto the NDAA — a must-pass defense bill — is a common end-of-year tactic, but the specifics remain unclear. Earlier this year a proposed moratorium on state AI laws failed badly in the Senate: 99 out of 100 senators opposed a five-year moratorium when it came to a vote. Lawmakers had previously voiced concerns about long terms (an initial 10-year proposal) and overly broad language that might nullify other tech rules, including kids’ online safety laws. Both Democratic and Republican states have adopted AI-related measures that could be paused or preempted if Congress acts.
Supporters of a federal pause, including industry groups like NetChoice, argue that a patchwork of state rules could stifle innovation and weaken US competitiveness with China. More details on any NDAA language were expected before Thanksgiving, with a possible vote in December, per Politico.
