New Jersey: Workplace and Public Services Artificial Intelligence and Electronic Monitoring Systems Bill (Senate Bill 4075 / Assembly Bill 4981)
New JerseyLegislationProposed
Senate Bill 4075 regulates the deployment, development, sale, and use of automated employment decision systems (AEDS), electronic monitoring tools (EMT), and automated benefit or service decision systems (ABSDS) across public and private entities in New Jersey. Warden Watch focuses specifically on the bill's workplace and employment provisions governing employers and technology vendors. The legislation bans invasive surveillance practices, productivity quotas harmful to worker health, and employment decisions based solely on automated processing or continuous time-tracking tools. Covered systems must undergo annual independent impact assessments evaluating disparate impact and economic displacement before deployment, with reports submitted to a public state registry. Employers must provide 60-day advance notice to workers and unions prior to implementing covered tools, deliver 10-day advance notice before executing adverse decisions, and guarantee meaningful human oversight with human review appeals. Vendors and deployers share joint and several liability for statutory violations.
