New York Child Data Protection Act (SB 7695-B)
SB 7 aimed to regulate the use of automated decision systems in employment contexts, requiring transparency and fairness assessments to prevent algorithmic discrimination. The bill was vetoed and the veto was sustained in March 2026. It sought to address potential harms from AI systems used in hiring and employment decisions that could lead to discriminatory outcomes.
