Conversational AI must disclose it is AI when users could be misled, and persistently or every three hours for minors (Idaho)
Idaho's Conversational AI Safety Act requires an operator of a public conversational AI service to disclose clearly and conspicuously that the service is artificial intelligence whenever reasonable persons would be misled into thinking they are interacting with a human (48-2103(1)). For minor account holders the disclosure must be a persistent visible disclaimer, or be shown at the beginning of each session and at least every three hours of continuous interaction (48-2104(1)). Detect a conversational path with no AI notice, no three-hour recurrence for minors, or prompts telling the AI to pass as human.

Conversational AI must have a protocol that refers users raising suicidal ideation to crisis services (Idaho)
Idaho's Conversational AI Safety Act requires an operator of a public conversational AI service to adopt a protocol for responding to prompts about suicidal ideation, including reasonable efforts to refer users to crisis service providers such as a suicide hotline or crisis text line (48-2103(2)). Unlike the Nebraska and Iowa versions, the text names suicidal ideation but not self-harm. Detect a conversational path where user messages reach the model with no screen for suicidal ideation or no crisis referral.
