Spanish AI Good Use and Governance Bill (lapsed)

Lapsed or supersededSpanish AI bill (lapsed)

Summary

It was the law meant to set Spanish penalties for the EU AI Act and split supervision among authorities. It lapsed on October 6, 2026 when Parliament was dissolved. It remains a good indicator of what is coming: failing to label deepfakes as a serious infringement, an AI inventory and AI officer in the public sector, and a complaints channel at AESIA.

Who it applies to

Not binding: it has lapsed.

Penalties

It proposed fines of up to EUR 35M or 7% (very serious), EUR 7.5M or 1% (serious) and EUR 500,000 or 0.5% (minor); warnings for the public sector.
