Bill > HB3720

This bill creates the Meaningful Human Review of Artificial Intelligence Act, which establishes comprehensive regulations for the use of automated decision-making systems by state agencies. The bill defines an automated decision-making system as software using algorithms or artificial intelligence to support or replace human decision-making, and mandates continuous meaningful human review for systems that impact public assistance benefits, individual rights, civil liberties, safety, or welfare. Specifically, state agencies are prohibited from using such systems without ongoing human oversight, with trained individuals who can intervene, approve, modify, or deny automated decisions. The bill requires rigorous impact assessments for any proposed automated system, which must evaluate the system's objectives, accuracy, potential biases, cybersecurity risks, and privacy concerns, with a particular focus on preventing discriminatory outcomes based on characteristics like race, gender, or disability. If an impact assessment reveals discriminatory results, the agency must immediately cease using the system. Additionally, these assessments must be submitted to state leadership at least 30 days before implementation, published on the agency's website, and updated every two years or after any material changes to the system. The bill also includes strong protections for state employees, ensuring that automated systems cannot displace workers or undermine existing employment rights and collective bargaining agreements.
