It defines "automated employment decision tool" as systems governed by statistical theory that filter candidates. The bill mandates that any person using such tools must notify candidates within 30 days of use. It prohibits selling these tools unless they have undergone a bias audit within the past year, include an annual audit service, and are sold with a notice of the bill's provisions. Violations incur civil penalties.
