What this bill does
H.R. 7110, the "Eliminating Bias in Algorithmic Systems Act of 2026," proposes to establish offices of civil rights within federal agencies that use, fund, or oversee certain complex computational processes, referred to as "covered algorithms." These offices would focus on identifying and addressing bias, discrimination, and other harms stemming from these algorithms, particularly those affecting individuals based on protected characteristics.
The bill would affect federal agencies and the public by requiring these newly formed offices to report biennially on the state of algorithmic bias within their jurisdictions. These reports would detail the agency's efforts to mitigate harms, stakeholder engagement, and any recommendations for legislative or administrative action. The bill also calls for the creation of an interagency working group to coordinate efforts on covered algorithms and civil rights.
This bill was introduced in the House of Representatives on January 15, 2026, and has been referred to the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform. It is currently in the initial stages of the legislative process.
