This bill prohibits employers from using automated systems (like AI algorithms) to set individual wages based on surveillance data about employees, such as personal behaviors or biometrics. It directly affects employers who currently use such technology for wage decisions. Exceptions apply if employers base wages solely on job-specific data or labor costs, and they must disclose their wage-setting methods in plain language before hiring. Violations could trigger civil penalties up to $10,000 per employee per violation, and affected workers can sue for damages or file complaints.

Exceptions apply to government agencies, law enforcement, or those with prior written consent, as well as drones continuously flying through at 250 feet or higher.

Bill S 5872 requires New York's sex offender registry website to include the zip code of a registrant's employment address and make this information searchable by that zip code. It directly affects the public accessing the registry (e.g., neighbors, employers) and the Department of Corrections, which must update its website to include employment zip codes and enable searches by both residence and employment zip codes. Key provisions mandate that the registry subdirectory must list employment zip codes and allow internet searches using them, alongside existing features like residence-based searches. The bill also adds free email alerts for users to monitor new registrations in specific zip codes or counties. This changes how the public can locate employment-related information about registered sex offenders online.

This bill prohibits law enforcement agencies from using or contracting for DNA phenotyping, which predicts physical traits (like eye color or ancestry) from DNA samples, in criminal investigations or prosecutions. It bans all evidence derived from this technology from being used as reasonable cause for arrest or in court, and requires existing DNA phenotyping data held by police to be destroyed immediately. Any conviction linked to such evidence becomes eligible for legal review. The law directly affects police departments, prosecutors, and criminal court proceedings by eliminating a specific investigative tool.
