## Summary
Requires large frontier developers (over $500M revenue; models above 10^26 operations) to publish a frontier AI framework, file disclosure statements and pay fees to a new office in the Department of Financial Services, and report critical safety incidents within 72 hours (24 hours if imminent risk of death or serious injury). The March 2026 chapter amendment aligned the law closely with California's SB 53.

## Why it matters
Frontier developers will face parallel California and New York regimes with a shorter (72-hour) incident clock and DFS supervision.
