April 26th, by Jones Day @ www.jdspura.com
New York City regulators have finalized rules implementing the city's law requiring bias audits of automated employment decision tools, publication of audit results, notice to employees, and other requirements.
On April 6, 2023, the New York City Department of Consumer and Worker Protection released final rules to implement Local Law 144 ("LL 144"). LL 144 prohibits any employer or employment agency from using automated employment decision tools ("AEDT") to screen job candidates for employment or evaluate employees for promotion unless the employer publishes a bias audit of the AEDT conducted within the previous year and provides certain notices to employees and candidates who will be screened by the AEDT.
