Bill > S09132

This bill prohibits employers from using a "wage-fixing algorithm"—a computational process or methodology used to set or recommend wages—in combination with "personal data" (information that identifies or relates to a specific person or device, including financial, medical, or online activity) or "behavioral data" (observable actions, habits, or preferences) to determine or suggest employee compensation. The bill defines these terms broadly, with exceptions for algorithms that only consider factors like job requirements, performance (excluding customer reviews), qualifications, labor market conditions, or cost of living. It also outlines penalties for violations, allowing for civil actions by the Attorney General or harmed workers to seek damages, disgorgement of profits, and attorney fees, and protects individuals from retaliation for reporting violations.
