Regulates automated decision-making by government agencies; requires impact assessments and disclosure of tools.

New York S07599 amends state technology law to regulate automated decision-making by government agencies. It mandates agencies to conduct impact assessments for any automated decision-making tools they use. Agencies must also disclose details about these tools on their websites, including descriptions, purposes, and dates of use. The bill ensures that the use of such tools does not impair existing collective bargaining agreements or result in employee displacement. It also requires agencies to cease using tools that produce discriminatory outcomes.
