An Act preventing a dystopian work environment

This bill creates a new chapter in Massachusetts law to regulate how employers use automated systems and data to make decisions about hiring, firing, and employee performance. It defines specific terms like "automated decision systems" and "worker data" to cover a wide range of information, including biometric data, health records, and digital activity. The legislation aims to provide workers with greater transparency and control over how their personal information is collected and used by their employers. By establishing clear definitions, the bill lays the groundwork for future rules on privacy and fairness in the workplace.
