AI Summary

This bill aims to regulate the use of electronic monitoring by employers in the workplace. It defines key terms such as "electronic monitoring," "employee," and "personal data," and sets out the requirements for employers to provide notice to employees, customers, and consumers about any electronic monitoring. The bill allows for exceptions to the notice requirements in cases where the employer has reasonable suspicion of criminal or unethical conduct by the employee, customer, or consumer. It also establishes employee rights to review their personal data collected through electronic monitoring, limits the use of such data, and prohibits retaliation against employees who assert their rights under the law. The bill provides for administrative enforcement by a state director as well as a private right of action for individuals whose rights have been violated.
