Zotec Answers: What is the latest on a possible federal moratorium on state AI legislation?

December 12, 2025

In this episode of Zotec Answers, Jennifer Fox and Megan Applegarth break down the latest developments surrounding a possible federal moratorium on state AI legislation. They discuss how conflicting regulations and a shifting federal landscape could create new compliance and operational challenges for physicians and medical practices

• This episode was recorded and produced just before the Executive Order establishing a federal moratorium on state-level AI regulation was signed (12/11/2025). Moreover, the order establishes a unified federal framework, while also directing the creation of a new AI Litigation Task Force, and additionally tying certain broadband funding eligibility to state compliance. As a result, we’ll continue to monitor these important developments and, in turn, share timely updates as they become available.

For more information, refer to the White House Fact Sheet and recent news coverage on the Executive Order.
