The state AI education policy landscape is moving faster than most districts can track. In 2024 alone, more than 30 states introduced legislation addressing AI in schools. Some passed comprehensive governance requirements. Others created study committees. A few issued executive orders directing departments of education to develop guidance.
For district leaders, the challenge is not just knowing which laws exist — it is understanding what each law requires and how it affects day-to-day operations. A mandate to adopt an AI acceptable use policy is different from a mandate to conduct bias audits on AI tools. Both are happening.
This tracker is maintained by Beni Education as a resource for the K-12 community. We update it as new legislation is introduced, amended, or enacted. If you notice an update we have missed, let us know.
For a deeper look at the federal compliance landscape, read our FERPA & AI Compliance Guide. For a practical framework on building your district's governance system, see the AI Governance in K-12 Guide.
Beni builds the governance tools that help districts comply with state and federal AI mandates. From Policy Cards to compliance reporting, we turn requirements into operational controls.
