Summary

HB 1421 would prohibit Indiana employers with eleven or more workers from relying solely on, or even using, outputs from automated decision systems—such as AI‑based hiring tools—unless the systems pass extensive pre‑deployment testing, annual bias audits, and public disclosure requirements. The bill also bars retaliation against workers who assert these rights and gives the state labor department enforcement authority and a private right of action. It aims to protect workers from hidden algorithmic discrimination.
