This legislation aims to combat bias and discrimination in algorithmic systems used by federal agencies. It mandates that each covered agency —defined as an agency that uses, funds, or oversees algorithms with potential material effects on programs, economic opportunities, or protected rights—establish an office of civil rights. These offices are specifically tasked with employing experts and technologists to focus on bias, discrimination, and other harms attributable to algorithms, particularly concerning individuals or groups possessing protected characteristics such as race, sex, disability, or age. Furthermore, the bill requires these newly established civil rights offices to submit biennial reports to Congress. These reports must detail the state of algorithmic risks within the agency's jurisdiction, outline steps taken to mitigate harms, describe engagement with stakeholders, and provide recommendations for legislative or administrative actions. The Assistant Attorney General for the Civil Rights Division is also directed to establish an interagency working group on covered algorithms and civil rights, with each agency's civil rights office participating to foster coordinated efforts.
