Of 51 tracked US jurisdictions, 25 have adopted the NAIC model bulletin, 4 run their own insurance-specific AI framework (California, Colorado, New York and Texas), and 22 have not adopted it but have other tracked AI-related insurance activity. The bulletin restates that existing unfair trade practice and unfair discrimination law applies to AI-driven decisions; it does not create new statutory obligations.
Two tracks. Insurance AI regulation runs on two largely independent tracks: the NAIC model bulletin (governance, all lines), and a 2026 wave of health-insurance statutes restricting AI as the sole basis for claim or coverage denial. A state can be active on the second while absent from the first. Absence from the NAIC map is not absence of regulation.
