GUARDRAILS Act

H.R. 8031 proposes to repeal an executive order titled 'Ensuring a National Policy Framework for Artificial Intelligence.' If enacted, this bill would eliminate the policy framework that the executive order established for how the federal government approaches artificial intelligence regulation and oversight.

The bill is currently in the early stages of the legislative process, having been introduced in the House on March 20, 2026, and referred to committee. It has not yet been voted on by the full chamber. The practical effect of this bill, if it becomes law, would be to remove the current executive branch guidance on artificial intelligence policy, potentially leaving AI regulation to existing laws and future legislative action rather than the framework set by the executive order.
