A bill for an act relating to automated decision systems used by employers.

Iowa's SF 2414 requires employers to provide written notice to employees (or their authorized representatives) about automated decision systems used in employment-related decisions - excluding hiring - before deployment or by January 1, 2027. The notice must explain the types of decisions affected (e.g., promotions, discipline, work assignments), describe the employee data used, and disclose key parameters that may disproportionately impact outcomes. It applies to employers in Iowa who use such systems to make decisions materially affecting wages, benefits, work conditions, or opportunities. The bill defines "automated decision systems" broadly but excludes tools like spam filters or basic databases. This is a transparency measure, not a restriction on system use.
