Bill > A07906

This bill amends the Real Property Law to set conditions and rules for the use of automated decision tools by landlords for making housing decisions. The key provisions include: 1) defining an "automated decision tool" and requiring an annual "disparate impact analysis" to assess the tool's impact on applicants based on protected characteristics like race and sex; 2) requiring landlords to publicly disclose the results of the disparate impact analysis and make it accessible to applicants; 3) requiring landlords to notify applicants when an automated decision tool will be used, provide information about the tool, and allow applicants to request an alternative selection process; and 4) empowering the Attorney General to investigate and take action against violations of these requirements.
