Section 1 establishes the bill's single operative prohibition and enforcement mechanism. Any person or entity that develops or deploys generative artificial intelligence in New Jersey is prohibited from advertising or representing to the public that the 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. This covers a broad range of licensed professions — attorneys, physicians, accountants, engineers, real estate agents, and dozens of others regulated under Title 45.
A violation is designated as an unlawful practice under the New Jersey Consumer Fraud Act, bringing the full enforcement toolkit of that statute to bear: Attorney General enforcement, monetary penalties, cease and desist orders, and private treble-damages actions by injured parties.
This act shall take effect on the first day of the sixth month next following the date of enactment, except that the Attorney General may take any anticipatory action in advance as shall be necessary for the implementation of this act.
Section 2 sets the bill's effective date at the first day of the sixth month following enactment and authorizes the Attorney General to take anticipatory implementation actions before that date. No new compliance obligation is created by this section.
