Section 1 imposes the bill's sole substantive obligation: a prohibition on advertising or representing to the public that generative AI can practice a profession or occupation regulated under Title 45 of the Revised Statutes or by the Judicial Branch or Administrative Office of the Courts. The prohibition applies to any person or entity that develops or deploys generative AI in New Jersey.
Subsection (b) classifies any violation as an unlawful practice under New Jersey's Consumer Fraud Act (C.56:8-1 et seq.), triggering the CFA's existing enforcement and penalty framework rather than creating a standalone enforcement mechanism. Subsection (c) defines generative artificial intelligence as a technology system trained on data, designed to simulate human communication via text, audio, or visual means, and that generates non-scripted outputs with limited or no human oversight.

Section 2 provides that the act takes effect on the first day of the sixth month following enactment, giving covered entities approximately five months to come into compliance.
