SB 7 (McNerney, D-Stockton)

SB 7 would require an employer or contracted vendor 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 or its vendor from relying primarily on an ADS when making employment-related decisions, and would provide both an appeal process for employment-related decisions involving the use of ADS and a private right of action — including civil penalties in the amount of $500 per violation.
