California Governor Gavin Newsom signed SB 813 and AB 1405 into law on September 9, 2026, establishing the first state-level framework in the United States for third-party AI compliance verification. SB 813 creates a state certification program for independent AI verification organizations, while AB 1405 establishes a registry for AI auditors. Both Anthropic and OpenAI endorsed the package before signing, with OpenAI reversing prior opposition just hours before the governor acted.
