SB 947: Employment: automated decision systems ("No Robo Bosses")

Latest recorded action

August 31, 2026. Passed the Legislature.

What the bill does

Would prohibit an employer from relying solely on an automated decision system to discipline or terminate a worker and would require human oversight where such systems participate in those decisions. General employment law, not a healthcare statute — tracked for its application to employed physicians, productivity scoring and medical-staff discipline.

What it does not do

Not law; not healthcare-specific. Tracked as a comparator for automated physician credentialing and discipline.

KPSGILL position

No position taken. Tracked as a comparator: an automated-decision limit in general employment law reaches the same question KPSGILL asks about automated physician credentialing and discipline — whether a system may end a career without a human who owns the decision.

What happens next

Governor action deadline: September 30, 2026. That is the session-wide date this desk tracks, not a date computed from this bill’s own presentment: enrolment and presentment for this bill are not established on the record read here, and until they are, no per-bill clock can be stated. Every qualifying measure is tracked on the Governor’s Health Bill Desk; scheduled dates sit on the decision calendar.
