state-employment-ai-disclosure-tracker

State Employment AI Disclosure Tracker v0.1 draft. A per-jurisdiction lifecycle ledger of US state legislative statutes, local ordinances, state civil-rights-agency guidance, and state DOL pre-rule guidance governing employment-AI tools — from proposed to in-committee / passed-one-chamber to enacted-awaiting-effective to effective to amended / superseded / sunset / vetoed / withdrawn. The Operator surface an employer, AI vendor, or bias auditor queries to know which jurisdiction's employment-AI obligations govern a hiring / promotion / performance / termination decision on a given date.

Part of the Kinetic Gain Protocol Suite.

Status: v0.1 draft. Schema at schema/disclosure-event.schema.json, per-jurisdiction streams at states/, Node verifier at src/verify.mjs.

Why this exists

Employment-AI regulation is fragmenting at three levels: federal floor (EEOC AI Guidance May 2023, Title VII, ADA, ADEA, GINA, OFCCP), state statutes (IL AI Video Interview Act, MD HB 1202, CO SB 24-205, CA AB 331-or-DFEH-regs, and 12+ proposed bills), and local ordinances (NYC Local Law 144 is the headline). An employer hiring a NYC-resident candidate via a video-interview AI tool operated by a federal contractor headquartered in CO is bound by NYC LL 144 AEDT + EEOC AI Guidance + OFCCP regs + CO SB 24-205 + IL 820 ILCS 42 (if the role is partly IL-based) + Title VII. Decision Cards have to reference the obligation set in force at the decision date. This lifecycle ledger answers "what is in force for this jurisdiction on this date" deterministically.

The shape

Field	Purpose
event_id, jurisdiction, timestamp	Append-only stamped identity. jurisdiction accepts US-XX AND US-XX-CITY (e.g. US-NY-NYC) — the only Suite tracker that supports sub-state jurisdictions, because NYC LL 144 is THE headline employment-AI law
lifecycle_state	One of 10 (proposed → in-committee → passed-one-chamber → enacted-awaiting-effective → effective → amended → superseded → sunset → vetoed → withdrawn)
regulatory_vehicle	One of 6 (state-legislative-statute, local-ordinance, state-civil-rights-agency-guidance, state-dol-pre-rule-guidance, state-doi-bulletin, city-or-county-rule)
citation	Short label + long title + jurisdictional URI + session year
effective_date / sunset_date	REQUIRED when respective lifecycle_state
scope	10-decision covered_decisions + 9-actor covered_actors + minimum employer size + geographic scope
obligation_kinds	17-doctrine obligation taxonomy including HR-Tech-specific obligations
regulator	Primary agency + concurrent jurisdiction
supersedes_event_id	REQUIRED when amended / superseded

Seed coverage (v0.1)

Jurisdiction	Last lifecycle_state	Key citation
US-NY-NYC	effective (2023-07-05)	NYC Local Law 144 — first US AEDT-specific bias-audit law
US-IL	amended (effective 2026-01-01)	IL 820 ILCS 42 (Video Interview Act) layered with HB 3773 (PA 104-0049 consequential-decisions)
US-MD	effective (2020-10-01)	MD HB 1202 (Chapter 595) facial-recognition prohibition
US-CA	withdrawn	CA AB 331 held in committee; DFEH/CRD took up FEHA rulemaking instead
US-CO	effective (2026-02-01)	CO SB 24-205 — applies to consequential decisions including employment

Compliance posture

HR-Tech-readiness scaffolding for state and local employment-AI regulatory tracking. Does not establish compliance with any state law or local ordinance — local employment counsel + state civil-rights / DOL agency engagement remain authoritative. Per the standing public-language guardrail: readiness · evidence · posture · controls · scaffolding — never "NYC-LL-144-compliant" or "EEOC-attested" without an external attestation specific to the jurisdiction.
