On April 6, 2023, New York City’s Department of Consumer and Worker Protection (“DCWP”) issued final rules governing Local Law 144 of 2021. That law prohibits employers in New York City from using automated employment decision tools (“AEDTs”) to screen candidates for hiring or promotion without satisfying certain requirements.
