Bill > HR7110

This bill, titled the "Eliminating Bias in Algorithmic Systems Act of 2026," mandates that any government agency that uses, funds, or oversees "covered algorithms"—which are defined as computational processes using advanced techniques like artificial intelligence that can significantly impact programs, economic opportunities, or protected rights—must establish an office of civil rights. This specialized office will be staffed with experts and technologists specifically tasked with identifying and addressing bias, discrimination, and other harms caused by these algorithms, particularly when they affect individuals or groups based on protected characteristics such as race, sex, disability, or income. Furthermore, these offices will be required to submit biennial reports to Congress detailing the risks posed by covered algorithms within their jurisdiction, the steps taken to mitigate these harms, stakeholder engagement efforts, and any legislative or administrative recommendations for further action, while an interagency working group will be formed to coordinate efforts across government.
