New York Automated Employment Decision-Making in State Government and AI Inventory (A433)
New York · N.Y. State Technology Law / Civil Service Law; L. 2025, ch. 96 (A433)
Any New York State agency that uses an automated tool to help make employment decisions must publicly list those tools, and the state's IT office must keep a public inventory of state-agency AI systems that affect the public. The law also protects state workers' existing collective-bargaining rights and bars using AI to displace them.
Technical detail
Chapter 96 of the Laws of 2025 amends the State Technology Law and Civil Service Law: agencies using automated employment decision-making tools must annually publish a list of them; the Office of Information Technology Services must maintain and annually post a statewide inventory of public-impacting AI systems; and AI use may not affect employees' CBA rights or be used to discharge, displace, or transfer current employees' duties.
Who is protected: The public subject to state-agency AI systems and state-agency employees.
Who must comply: New York State agencies using automated employment decision-making tools and the Office of Information Technology Services.
