This bill establishes the Office of Algorithmic Civil Rights within the Department of Law and Public Safety to address and prevent discrimination arising from the use of high-risk algorithmic systems by State entities. The Attorney General will appoint a Director to oversee the office, which will serve as a centralized hub for expertise on biases and discrimination linked to these systems. The office is tasked with conducting audits of high-risk algorithms at least biannually to assess compliance and identify potential discriminatory impacts. If biases are found, the office will recommend corrective actions that the relevant State entity must implement within a specified timeframe.

Additionally, the bill mandates that each State entity utilizing algorithms designate an algorithmic civil rights liaison to the Office. The office will also engage in educational programs, analyze data related to algorithmic harms, and provide training tailored to the needs of State entities. An annual report will be submitted to the Governor and the Legislature, summarizing the office's findings, corrective actions taken, and recommendations for legislative or regulatory changes. The bill emphasizes the importance of civil rights in the context of algorithmic decision-making and aims to ensure that the use of such systems does not perpetuate discrimination.
