The source supplies the latest action, but no lifecycle stage.
Latest action (3 Dec 2025): Referred to the Committee on Education and Workforce, and in addition to the Committees on House Administration, and Oversight and Government Reform, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.
What this bill does
This bill, the "No Robot Bosses Act," aims to regulate how employers use automated decision systems in employment-related decisions. It would prohibit employers from relying solely on these systems for decisions about hiring, firing, discipline, or other terms of employment. Employers would be required to ensure these systems are tested for bias and comply with anti-discrimination laws before deployment and periodically afterward.
If enacted, this bill would affect employers who use automated systems to make employment-related decisions for their employees or job candidates. These employers would need to disclose information about the systems they use, and provide documentation and avenues for dispute and appeal to affected individuals. The bill also proposes establishing a new "Technology and Worker Protection Division" within the Department of Labor to oversee these regulations.
The bill has been introduced in the House of Representatives and referred to multiple committees. Its next step would be for these committees to consider the bill. If a committee approves it, it could then be scheduled for a vote by the full House.
