Bill > S07543

This bill enacts the Legislative Oversight of Automated Decision-making in Government Act (LOADinG Act) to regulate the use of automated decision-making systems and artificial intelligence techniques by state agencies. The key provisions of the bill are: 1. It defines "automated decision-making system" and requires that any such system used by a state agency for functions related to public assistance benefits, impacting individual rights and liberties, or affecting statutory or constitutional rights must be subject to continued and operational meaningful human review. 2. It requires state agencies to conduct impact assessments of their automated decision-making systems every two years or before any material changes, covering aspects like objectives, algorithms, accuracy, fairness, cybersecurity, and privacy risks. If the assessment finds discriminatory or biased outcomes, the agency must cease using the system. 3. It mandates that impact assessments be submitted to the Governor and Legislature for review prior to implementation and published on the agency's website, with limited exceptions for redacting sensitive information. 4. It also requires state agencies to disclose existing automated decision-making systems they use within one year of the law's effective date.
