SB 7 (McNerney, D-Stockton)

SB 7 would require an employer that uses automated decision systems (ADS) for purposes of making employment-related decisions to provide written notice to its employees about how the ADS is used. This bill would also prohibit an employer from relying primarily on an ADS when making employment-related decisions, allow an employee to appeal any employment-related decisions involving the use of ADS, and create a private right of action — including civil penalties in the amount of $500 per violation.
