Seyfarth Synopsis: On September 23, 2022, New York City’s Department of Consumer and Workplace Protection (“DCWP”) released the highly anticipated proposed rules implementing Local Law Int. No. 1894-A, which regulates the use of automated employment decision tools (“AEDT”) in hiring and promotion decisions and takes effect on January 1, 2023. The proposed rules attempt to address some of the ambiguities under the law by providing additional details on employer obligations. DCWP will hold a public hearing on the proposed rules on October 24, 2022 and is also accepting public comments on the proposed rules until that date.
