What this law does
Drafted with AI from the cited sources under the direction of UnGovr staff. UnGovr holds editorial responsibility for this page.
This measure is proposed and binds nobody yet.
As passed by the Senate, it would add a new Civil Rights Law article 10-A requiring a company (a deployer) using a high-risk AI system for a consequential decision (covering, among other categories, employment, education, housing and essential utilities) to disclose that use to the affected individual at least five business days in advance, conduct regular fairness and non-discrimination impact assessments, and preserve the individual's option to request human review.
An earlier print passed the Senate in June 2025 and died in the Assembly in January 2026; the Senate repassed a new print, S1169-B, on June 3, 2026, which as of this review is pending before the Assembly Ways and Means Committee.
