What this bill does
H.R. 7690, the "Stop Spying Bosses Act," would require employers to disclose certain information about their workplace surveillance practices. This includes detailing what data is collected, how and when it is gathered, why it is used, and how it impacts employment decisions. Employers would also have to provide employees with access to their collected data and allow for corrections. Additionally, the bill would prohibit employers from using surveillance to monitor union organizing activities, certain political or religious views, health status unrelated to job duties, or immigration status. It would also ban surveillance of off-duty employees or in sensitive areas like restrooms and limit the use of automated systems to predict work-unrelated behavior.
This legislation would affect employers with 11 or more employees, as well as federal and state government entities. It would also impact applicants seeking employment. The bill was introduced in the House of Representatives in March 2024 and referred to multiple committees, including Education and the Workforce, and Oversight and Accountability. It has not yet been voted on by the House or Senate. If passed by both chambers and signed by the President, it would become law.
