Summary

The bill adds a new labor‑law section that bars employers from using automated hiring tools unless a qualified human reviews the output before any final or adverse decision. It also forces employers to tell applicants when such tools are used, explain the data and the reviewer’s role in plain language, and give applicants a right to request a human‑conducted review after a denial. The state labor commissioner is given authority to enforce the rule.
