Hochul sets the RAISE Act rollout: large frontier AI developers must register with the state starting in November and comply from Jan. 1, 2027, reporting critical safety incidents within 72 hours to the new DIGIT office inside DFS; Marc Gilman (ex-Theta Lake general counsel) named Deputy Director as the office's first full-time hire, and Hochul says she will "explore ways to build on" the law in the coming months

The Sept. 21 announcement is the implementation timeline for the RAISE Act (S6953B/A6453B), signed Dec. 19, 2025. Registration of large frontier developers with DIGIT begins in November 2026; full compliance (published safety frameworks, 72-hour critical-incident reporting, quarterly catastrophic-risk assessments, biennial disclosure statements and assessments) starts Jan. 1, 2027. DIGIT will publish an annual public report. The release frames the move against federal inaction ("Donald Trump and Washington Republicans may be standing still"); AG James, Sen. Gounardes, Asm. Bores and DFS Acting Superintendent Asrow are quoted. Same-day coverage: WNYT, Politico via Yahoo. governor.ny.gov copy of the release was not yet indexed at run time.
