Chatbot Laws Which laws apply?

Missouri chatbot laws

Missouri has no law that specifically regulates AI chatbots, as of November 4, 2026.

Joining a letter or court filing is not a lawsuit or a finding against any company.

Other Missouri laws that may matter

  • Consumer protection law: Missouri Merchandising Practices Act (RSMo section 407.010 et seq.). It applies to businesses generally, not to chatbots specifically; whether it reaches a particular chatbot practice is a legal question.

The 2027 legislative session

The Missouri Legislature convenes on January 6, 2027, and bills can be pre-filed from December 1, 2026. New chatbot bills will be added to our 2027 tracker as they are filed.

What still applies

Without a state chatbot law, companies serving Missouri residents may still face other states' laws when they serve users there, general consumer protection law and federal rules. Congress is considering 13 chatbot bills; see federal bills.
