S 1840 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Creates "New Jersey Responsible AI Advancement and Workforce Protection Act."

This bill establishes the "New Jersey Responsible AI Advancement and Workforce Protection Act" to create a framework for AI deployment that prioritizes worker protections and community impact. It requires AI infrastructure companies (like large computing facilities) to pay a 5% fee on their revenue into the AI Horizon Fund, which will support worker retraining, clean energy upgrades for AI facilities, and community resilience programs. Employers with 100+ employees must disclose AI-related layoffs (including dates and numbers) and make supplemental contributions to the fund based on affected workers. The bill also mandates environmental assessments for large AI projects and algorithmic impact reviews for high-risk AI systems used in housing, employment, and healthcare.
