NYC Local Law 144
Current chainCheck registry fields for NYC LL144. Review the source authority and qualified legal counsel before relying on this page for a compliance decision.
NYC Local Law 144 of 2021 requires employers and employment agencies using automated employment decision tools for NYC hiring or promotion to obtain an independent bias audit no more than one year before use, publish a summary of results, and notify candidates about the tool's use and the data collected. It has been enforced since 5 July 2023 by the NYC Department of Consumer and Worker Protection, with civil penalties of $500–$1,500 per violation per day. A December 2025 New York State Comptroller audit found DCWP's complaint-driven enforcement left substantial non-compliance unaddressed — regulatory attention on AEDT users is increasing.
This summary was verified against the cited primary and authoritative sources on the retrieval date shown and is provided for general information only — it is not legal advice. Regulations change; confirm current requirements with counsel.
