This legislative proposal, known as the GUARDRAILS Act , seeks to nullify a specific Executive Order issued on December 11, 2025. The Executive Order, titled "Ensuring a National Policy Framework for Artificial Intelligence," would be declared to have no legal force or effect under this bill. A central provision of the bill prohibits the use of any federal funds for the implementation, administration, enforcement, or execution of the aforementioned Executive Order. This ensures that no government resources can be allocated towards its directives. The bill's purpose is to assert congressional authority over the development of artificial intelligence policy, preventing the Executive Branch from unilaterally establishing a national framework.
