Pennsylvania HB594 amends the Pennsylvania Human Relations Act by defining "automated employment decision tool" as any system governed by statistical theory used to screen individuals for employment or to decide employment terms. Employers and employment agencies using such tools must notify individuals, provide information about the tool, obtain consent, and ensure the tool has undergone a bias audit within the last year. The bill also establishes civil penalties for violations, with a maximum penalty of $1,500 for subsequent violations.
