SB 1484 Connecticut Senate · 2025 Regular Session

AN ACT IMPLEMENTING ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE PROTECTIONS FOR EMPLOYEES.

SB 1484 replaces existing law to protect employees from excessive workplace monitoring. It prohibits employers from using electronic monitoring to collect biometric data, medical history, protected characteristics (like race or gender identity), or monitor non-work activities. Employers must provide written notice in plain language and employees' primary language about monitoring types and data use, post visible notices, and maintain data security. Violations can result in civil penalties up to $3,000 for repeat offenses. The law applies to all employers, including state and local government, but excludes criminal investigations.
