Bill > A09487

This bill amends existing laws to regulate the use of automated employment decision-making tools and artificial intelligence (AI) systems by various government entities in New York State, referred to as "covered entities," which include counties, cities, towns, villages, school districts, public universities, and community colleges. It requires these covered entities to publish a list of any automated employment decision-making tools they use on their websites, including a description of the tool, when its use began, and its purpose. Crucially, the bill ensures that the use of AI systems by these entities will not negatively impact employees' existing rights under collective bargaining agreements, their job positions, wages, benefits, or the bargaining relationships between employers and employee organizations. It also prevents the transfer of duties currently performed by employees to AI systems and preserves employees' terms and conditions of employment and civil service status. The bill also repeals certain prior provisions related to automated decision-making and sets an expiration date of July 1, 2028, for its provisions.
