S 6471: Relates to the use of automated decision tools by landlords for making housing decisions

Bill S 6471 regulates how landlords use automated tools, such as AI or algorithms, when making housing decisions like screening applicants. It requires landlords to conduct an annual, independent "disparate impact analysis" to assess if the tool negatively affects protected groups, and a summary of this analysis must be publicly available. Landlords must also notify applicants at least 24 hours before using such a tool, explain the characteristics it assesses, and offer an alternative selection process or accommodation. If an application is denied using the tool, landlords must provide the reason for the denial.
