How Is This Bill Enforced

Enforcement Authority
Dual enforcement. A covered individual aggrieved by a violation — or a person acting on their behalf, including a labor organization — may bring a private civil action.

Defines the key terms that set the act's scope. Two functionally broad platform terms drive coverage: automated decisions tool — any computational process (ML, statistical modeling, analytics, or AI) that issues a score, classification, or recommendation used to substantially assist or replace discretionary employment decisions — and electronic monitoring tool — any system collecting data about a worker's activities or communications by means other than direct observation. The employer definition sweeps in third parties and service providers used for monitoring or employment decisions, and qualified characteristic enumerates the protected traits the anti-collection and impact-assessment provisions turn on.

(1) Except as otherwise provided in subsection (2), an employerEmployer"Employer" means a person that employs, or otherwise engages for the performance of work for remuneration, 1 or more individuals in this state.

For an independent contractor or applicant for employment, employment-related decisions means the equivalent of these decisions based on the independent contractor's or candidate's contract with or relationship to the employer.Sec. 3(k).

(b) Assess candidates based on job skills.

Establishes a default prohibition: an employer may not use an automated decisions tool to make an employment-related decision. The only carve-out permits using such a tool to screen large volumes of job applications to identify candidates meeting set hiring criteria or to assess candidates based on job skills. Given the breadth of the automated-decisions-tool definition (any scoring, classification, or recommendation system that substantially assists discretionary employment decisions), this operates as a near-categorical ban on algorithmic employment decisioning outside high-volume application screening.

Where monitoring is permitted, the employer must give written notice, obtain written consent, keep data accurate, allow correction, use the tool in a narrowly tailored and least-invasive manner touching the fewest workers and least data, and never collect off-duty data.

The section layers hard prohibitions on top of these controls: employers may not collect enumerated sensitive categories (health/medical/wellness data, qualified characteristics, HR files, productivity metrics, communications, device and geolocation data, sensor/biometric data, tool inputs and outputs, and online identifiers), may not identify or punish protected labor activity, may not monitor bathrooms or other private areas or off-duty locations, and may not use any tool equipped with facial, gait, voice, or emotion recognition technology.
