READ AI Models Act

Key claim: HR6461, the READ AI Models Act, was ordered to be reported as amended by a unanimous 35-0 committee vote in the 119th Congress, advancing AI model transparency/disclosure legislation.

Abstract

(HR6461 · 119th Congress) Latest action (2026-06-25): Ordered to be Reported in the Nature of a Substitute (Amended) by the Yeas and Nays: 35 - 0.

Why this matters

A unanimous 35-0 committee vote to report the READ AI Models Act signals rare bipartisan consensus around baseline AI model transparency as a federal policy floor, distinct from more contested questions of liability or licensing. Combined with parallel bills like the AI Foundation Model Transparency Act, it suggests disclosure-based governance is emerging as the most politically viable near-term vector for AI regulation in the U.S.
