ADMT Law Roundup: What Employers Need to Know About Recent ADMT Laws
Employers increasingly rely on automated tools to help make decisions concerning hiring, promotion, discipline, and termination. In response, state legislatures and agencies have begun to regulate uses of these technologies, often referred to as automated decision-making technology (“ADMT”). These laws generally require entities that deploy ADMT in the employment context to, among other requirements, notify affected individuals, disclose how ADMT factors into decisions, and provide rights to appeal or request human review.
This remains a fast-moving area and a hot topic for legislative and regulatory focus, with several states enacting laws this year and additional bills pending. Below, we summarize the key legislative and regulatory ADMT developments that apply in the employment context.

On July 6, 2026, Illinois Governor JB Pritzker signed into law SB 315, a frontier model safety act that resembles the New York RAISE Act, discussed in our prior blog post here, and California’s Transparency in Frontier Artificial Intelligence Act (TFAIA), discussed in our prior blog post here. The law takes effect January 1, 2027, with transparency-reporting and audit obligations beginning January 1, 2028. Similar to the New York and California laws, SB 315 will apply to frontier developers (i.e., persons that train, or initiate the training of, a frontier model using computing power greater than 10^26 integer or floating point operations), with certain provisions applicable only to large frontier developers (i.e., frontier developers with annual gross revenue over $500 million in the preceding year). SB 315 also includes public safety disclosure and reporting requirements. Notably, SB 315 also imposes a third-party audit requirement not found in either the New York or the California law.
