 IN ASSEMBLY

 January 30, 2025
 ___________

 Introduced by M. of A. ROSENTHAL -- read once and referred to the
 Committee on Housing

 AN ACT to amend the real property law, the general business law and the
 banking law, in relation to regulating the use of artificial intelli-
 gence in aiding decisions on rental housing and loans; and providing
 for the repeal of certain provisions upon expiration thereof

 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 decision tools. 1. For the purposes of this
 4 section, the following terms shall have the following meanings:
 5 (a) "Automated decision tool" means any computational process, derived
 6 from machine learning, statistical modeling, data analytics, or artifi-
 7 cial intelligence, that issues simplified output, including a score,
 8 classification, or recommendation, that is used to substantially assist
 9 or replace discretionary decision making for making housing decisions
 10 that impact natural persons. "Automated decision tool" does not include
 11 a tool that does not automate, support, substantially assist, or replace
 12 discretionary decision-making processes and that does not materially
 13 impact natural persons, including, but not limited to, a junk email
 14 filter, firewall, antivirus software, calculator, spreadsheet, database,
 15 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 decision tool is likely to result in an adverse impact
 20 to the detriment of any group on the basis of sex, race, ethnicity, or
 21 other protected class under this article. A disparate impact analysis
 22 shall differentiate between applicants who were selected and applicants
 23 who were not selected by the tool.

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

 5 conducted to assess the actual impact of any automated decision tool
 6 used by any landlord to select applicants for housing within the state.
 7 Such disparate impact analysis shall be provided to the landlord.
 8 (b) A summary of the most recent disparate impact analysis of such
 9 tool as well as the distribution date of the tool to which the analysis
 10 applies shall be made publicly available on the website of the landlord
 11 prior to the implementation or use of such tool. Such summary shall
 12 also be made accessible through any listing for housing on a digital
 13 platform for which the landlord intends to use an automated decision
 14 tool to screen applicants for housing.
 15 3. (a) Any landlord that uses an automated decision tool to screen
 16 applicants for housing shall notify each such applicant of the follow-
