Gen. Stat. § 31-48d(a)(2).
Section 1 substantially rewrites Connecticut's existing electronic monitoring statute to impose new substantive restrictions on employer workplace surveillance. Under the amended law, electronic monitoring may only be conducted for six enumerated purposes — quality assurance, performance assessment, legal compliance, employee health and safety, facility and network security, and wage and benefit administration — and must be narrowly tailored to the intended purpose in the manner least invasive to employees. The bill adds an entirely new prohibition list: employers may not use electronic monitoring to threaten employee health or safety, monitor off-duty activity, collect medical history, obtain biometric identifiers, collect protected-class data, or punish protected activity. Location-tracking via employer-mandated devices or personal-device apps is separately banned.
The amended notice requirements now require employers to inform employees of the types of monitoring, the intended use of collected information, how data will be stored and for how long, and employees' rights under the section — all in plain language and in the employee's primary language. Sale, transfer, or disclosure of employee monitoring data to third parties is prohibited except where required by law or needed for an impact assessment under Section 3. The Labor Commissioner enforces violations with escalating civil penalties of $500, $1,000, and $3,000 per offense.
(b) 6 No employerEmployer"Employer" means any person, firm or corporation, including the state and any political subdivision of the state which has employees.Conn. Gen.

Section 2 amends the existing prohibition on employer electronic surveillance to extend coverage beyond personal-comfort areas (restrooms, locker rooms, lounges) to include any property owned or leased by an employee, such as an employee's residence or vehicle. This directly addresses remote-work surveillance scenarios by making it unlawful for employers to operate recording or monitoring equipment in employee homes.

Section 3 is the bill's centerpiece, creating a comprehensive framework for employers deploying high-risk AI systems in consequential employment decisions. It defines key terms — algorithmic discrimination, artificial intelligence system, consequential decision, high-risk artificial intelligence system, and substantial factor — and then imposes three layers of obligation: pre-deployment impact assessment, pre-decision employee notice and disclosure, and ongoing human oversight.
The impact assessment must be completed by an impartial third party no later than one year before deployment and must cover the system's purpose, performance metrics, error rates, algorithmic discrimination risk, accessibility, employee-rights impacts, and effects on job quality or well-being. For systems already deployed before October 1, 2025, the assessment must be completed by October 1, 2026. Beginning October 1, 2026, employers must notify employees before using a high-risk AI system in a consequential decision, disclose the system's purpose, nature of the decision, data collected, impact assessment results, opt-out rights, and appeal procedures. When a consequential decision is adverse, additional post-decision protections apply: the employer must disclose the principal reasons for the decision, the degree of AI contribution, the data types and sources, and must give the employee the right to examine and correct personal data and to appeal inaccurate-data-based decisions with human review. The employer must also designate at least one qualified internal reviewer with authority to change AI outputs.

Section 4 creates an anti-retaliation protection for employees who refuse to follow a consequential decision output from a high-risk AI system. The protection is conditioned on three requirements: the employee must hold independent judgment and discretion under a state license or certification, must have reasonably believed the AI output may cause algorithmic discrimination and notified the employer, and must have reasonably believed there was insufficient time to correct the action before the decision needed to be made. This is a narrow protection designed for licensed professionals — it does not extend to all employees.

Employees may bring a civil action in Superior Court to recover damages and equitable relief together with costs and reasonable attorney's fees.

Any agency may redact any data in such impact statement to remove personally identifiable information of any individual.
Section 6 imposes a near-categorical ban on state agency use of high-risk AI systems in public-assistance and rights-affecting functions unless specifically authorized by law. The prohibition extends to both direct and indirect use, and to entities acting on behalf of state agencies. Procurement and acquisition of high-risk AI systems with automated decision capabilities are likewise prohibited unless specifically authorized. When a state agency is authorized to procure such a system, it must contract with an impartial third party for an impact assessment under Section 3's requirements, submit the assessment to the Commissioner of Administrative Services, and post it on the agency's website at least 60 days before deployment. Agencies may redact personally identifiable information from published assessments.
