Bill > H1873

This bill aims to prevent dystopian work environments by establishing several key provisions: 1. Employers must provide clear notice to workers about the collection, use, and sharing of their personal data, including worker data collected through automated decision systems (ADSs) and electronic monitoring. Workers have the right to access and correct their data. 2. Employers are restricted in how they can collect, use, and share worker data, with limitations on the purposes, amount, and sharing of data. Employers cannot use certain types of data, like biometric or health data, to make employment decisions. 3. Employers must provide detailed notice before implementing electronic monitoring or an ADS, outlining the purpose, technologies used, and how the data will be used. There are restrictions on the use of electronic monitoring and ADSs, including prohibitions on practices that violate labor laws or worker safety. 4. Employers must conduct impact assessments before using ADSs or worker information systems, evaluating potential risks and harms to workers. Workers can dispute these assessments, and the Department of Labor and Workforce Development has enforcement authority. 5. The bill provides for civil penalties and a private right of action for workers if employers violate these provisions, and requires the Department to adopt implementing regulations.
