SB59

Algorithmic Discrimination Act prohibits discrimination in algorithmic eligibility and information availability determinations.

The Algorithmic Discrimination Act amends the Hawaii Revised Statutes to prohibit covered entities from making algorithmic eligibility determinations or algorithmic information availability determinations based on protected characteristics. Covered entities must provide individuals with notice of their use of personal information in such determinations. The act mandates annual audits and impact assessments to identify and address risks of unlawful disparate impact. It also requires covered entities to submit annual reports to the attorney general detailing their algorithmic practices.
