Senator Mike Wade (bill author) and proponents introduced Senate File 4689 (referred as 46‑89), describing prohibitions on employers using automated decision systems (ADS) and electronic monitoring to infer sensitive information or take adverse action (e.g., health, disability, religion, emotions, facial/emotion recognition, implantable monitoring). State employee Micah Monte described current state use of AI in a call‑center context and urged worker safeguards; Jake Schweitzer of Northstar Policy Action urged guardrails around displacement, surveillance and automated decision‑making.
