Chaptered by Secretary of State. Chapter 859, Statutes of 2026.
Summary
The bill adds new rules to the Labor Code that prohibit employers from relying on automated decision systems (ADS) to violate labor laws, infer protected status, or make punitive employment decisions without human review. Workers can request the data an ADS used about them and must receive written notice when an ADS influences discipline, termination, or deactivation. Employers who violate the rules face civil penalties and may be sued by workers, while retaliation against workers exercising these rights is forbidden.
