This bill would generally regulate a developer or a deployer of a high-risk automated decision system, as defined, including by requiring a developer or a deployer to perform an impact assessment on the high-risk automated decision system before making it publicly available or deploying it, as prescribed. The bill would require a state agency to require a developer of a high-risk automated decision system deployed by the state agency to provide to the state agency a copy of the impact assessment and would require the state agency to keep that impact assessment confidential. The bill would also require a developer to provide to the Attorney General or Civil Rights Department, within 30 days of a request from the Attorney General or the Civil Rights Department, a copy of an impact assessment and would require the impact assessment to be kept confidential.
This bill would authorize the Attorney General or the Civil Rights Department to bring a specified civil action to enforce compliance with the bill, as prescribed, and would authorize a developer or deployer to cure, within 45 days of receiving a certain notice of a violation, the noticed violation and provide an express written statement, made under penalty of perjury, that the violation has been cured. By expanding the scope of the crime of perjury, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program.
This bill would prohibit a state agency from awarding a contract for a high-risk automated decision system to a person who has violated, among other civil rights laws, the bill.
