2:30 pm - 3:30 pm ESTThis session settles the scope question that decides everything else. The California Privacy Protection Agency’s automated decisionmaking technology regulations took effect January 1, 2026, but businesses already using ADMT have until January 1, 2027 to comply — and the threshold question is whether a given tool processes personal information and uses computation to replace, or substantially replace, human decisionmaking for one of the significant employment decisions the regulations name: hiring, allocation or assignment of work, compensation, promotion, demotion, suspension, and termination. Attorneys will learn how to apply the ADMT definition to resume screeners, scoring and ranking tools, scheduling and productivity systems, and interview analytics; when meaningful human review keeps a tool outside the regulations, and what the reviewer must understand and be able to override; which employers are covered under the CCPA business thresholds, and how the rules reach applicants, employees, and independent contractors; and how these obligations stack on the Civil Rights Council’s FEHA automated-decision-system regulations that have applied since October 1, 2025.

Compliance here is documentary — a pre-use notice written in plain language, at least two opt-out methods or a properly invoked exception, a process for answering access requests, a completed risk assessment for every covered use, and vendor contracts that make all of it possible — and much of that record must exist before the first covered processing occurs, not after a complaint arrives. Attorneys will learn what a pre-use notice must say and when it must be delivered to applicants and current employees; how to choose between offering an opt-out and relying on the human-appeal or evaluated-use exceptions; how to build the risk assessment record, including completion for pre-existing processing by December 31, 2027 and the first attestation to the CPPA by April 1, 2028; and how to negotiate vendor terms covering bias testing, technical documentation, audit rights, and indemnification.
