California SB 947 — No Robo Bosses Act (2026 reintroduction)

California · Passed Senate

California state Senate Bill 947, sponsored by State Senator Jerry McNerney, introduced 2026-02-02. Reintroduces the No Robo Bosses Act after the original predecessor SB 7 was **vetoed by Governor Gavin Newsom on 2025-10-13**. SB 947 would bar California employers from relying solely on AI or automated decision systems (ADS) to fire or discipline workers and require human oversight and independent verification when employers use ADS to assist in termination or disciplinary decisions. The 2026 text addresses some prior concerns by focusing on "post-use" transparency rather than restrictive advance notices.
