Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene Backtracks on One Big Beautiful Bill: AI Regulation Concerns

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, a prominent House Republican, has raised concerns about a provision in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act that would prevent states from regulating artificial intelligence for a decade. After initially voting to pass the measure, Greene has since criticized the provision, stating that she would have opposed the bill if she had known about it. The clause, which would limit state regulatory authority over AI models and systems for 10 years, has drawn attention from both her colleagues and public figures like Elon Musk. Greene argues that the provision undermines federalism and poses risks given the rapid evolution of AI technology. She has called for the clause to be removed in the Senate before the bill’s final approval. Meanwhile, critics have pointed out the need for lawmakers to thoroughly review long and complex legislative texts before voting.
