AI-Generated Bills Create Legislative Hurdles

The U.S. House Office of Legislative Counsel is reporting an influx of error-riddled bills drafted using generative AI tools like ChatGPT and Claude. Lawyers at the office state they spend more time correcting these drafts than they would drafting original legislation from scratch.

Common issues include incorrect citations, flawed legal definitions, and the omission of specific jurisdictions. In 2025, legislative requests to the office increased by 72% compared to two years prior.
