Relates to the use of automated decision tools by landlords for making housing decisions

This bill regulates how landlords in the state use automated software, such as artificial intelligence or machine learning, to screen housing applicants. It requires landlords to conduct an annual independent review to ensure these tools do not unfairly disadvantage people based on race, sex, or other protected characteristics. Landlords must also publicly share a summary of these reviews, inform applicants about the specific data and criteria used before screening begins, and provide reasons for any denial made by the system. Additionally, the bill allows applicants to request a different review process if they are denied by the automated tool and gives the attorney general the power to investigate and enforce compliance.
