 AN ACT to amend the real property law, in relation to the use of auto-
 mated housing decision making tools to make housing decisions

 The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-
 bly, do enact as follows:

 1 Section 1. The real property law is amended by adding a new section
 2 227-g to read as follows:
 3 § 227-g. Use of automated housing decision making tools. 1. For the
 4 purposes of this section, the following terms shall have the following
 5 meanings:
 6 (a) "Automated housing decision making tool" means any software that
 7 uses algorithms, computational models, or artificial intelligence tech-
 8 niques, or a combination thereof, to materially automate, substantially
 9 assist, or replace human decision-making regarding housing decisions
 10 that impact natural persons. "Automated housing decision making tool"
 11 does not include a tool that does not automate, support, substantially
 12 assist, or replace discretionary decision-making processes and that does
 13 not materially impact natural persons, including, but not limited to, a
 14 junk email filter, firewall, antivirus software, calculator, spread-
 15 sheet, database, data set, or other compilation of data.
 16 (b) "Disparate impact analysis" means an impartial evaluation
 17 conducted by an independent auditor. Such disparate impact analysis
 18 shall include, but not be limited to, testing of the extent to which use
 19 of an automated housing decision making tool is likely to result in an
 20 adverse impact to the detriment of any group on the basis of sex, race,
 21 ethnicity, or other protected class under this article. A disparate
 22 impact analysis shall differentiate between applicants who were selected
 23 and applicants who were not selected by the tool.

 EXPLANATION--Matter in italics (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
 [ ] is old law to be omitted.

 1 (c) "Housing decision" means to screen applicants for housing.
 2 2. It shall be unlawful for a landlord to implement or use an auto-
 3 mated housing decision making tool, including the use of an automated
 4 housing decision making tool that issues a score, classification, or
 5 recommendation, that fails to comply with the following provisions:
 6 (a) No less than annually, a disparate impact analysis shall be
 7 conducted to assess the actual impact of any automated housing decision
 8 making tool used by any landlord to select applicants for housing within
 9 the state. Such disparate impact analysis shall be provided to the land-
 10 lord.
 11 (b) A summary of the most recent disparate impact analysis of such
 12 tool as well as the distribution date of the tool to which the analysis
 13 applies shall be made publicly available on the website of the landlord
 14 prior to the implementation or use of such tool. Such summary shall
 15 also be made accessible through any listing for housing on a digital
 16 platform for which the landlord intends to use an automated housing
 17 decision making tool to screen applicants for housing.
 18 3. (a) Any landlord that uses an automated housing decision making
