Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

3 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 1 costs, 0 mixed.

AI cannot replace New York state workers

Beginning July 1, 2025, New York state agencies cannot use AI to cut your job, hours, wages, or benefits. The law keeps your civil service status and union membership in place. Agencies cannot shift your existing duties to an AI system. These protections cover AI systems defined by state law and last until July 1, 2028.

Yearly public list of state AI systems

Beginning July 1, 2025, the state posts a yearly public list of AI systems used by agencies. The designated office publishes the inventory on the state open data site by December 30 each year. Agencies must send required details at least 60 days before posting. The office can withhold security-sensitive details. Each agency also lists any automated hiring or employment tools on its own website by December 30 after the law takes effect, and every year after. The list must say what the tool does, when use began, and how the agency uses it.

Old 2024 AI rules repealed and delayed

The law repeals parts of a 2024 act that set rules for agency automated decisions (sections 1, 3, 403, and 404). Starting July 1, 2025, those repealed rules no longer apply. The law also sets July 1, 2025 as the start date for the updated framework. This shifts when agencies, employees, and the public see new rules and protections take effect.
