Latest action on H.R. 7110: Referred to the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.

Who this affects: This bill mainly affects federal agencies that use or oversee powerful computer systems. It also matters for people whose benefits, opportunities, or rights may be shaped by those systems. Companies, researchers, and other groups that work with agencies may also face more questions or outreach as agencies prepare reports.

Why this matters: Federal agencies are using or overseeing more AI tools, and those tools can affect real-life chances and rights. This bill would require agencies to look for unfair treatment before or while these systems shape major decisions. The results would depend on how much staff and money agencies get, how deeply they review harms, and whether Congress or agencies act on the reports.

Key provisions in H.R. 7110

• The bill applies to many federal agencies that deal with powerful computer systems. It covers agencies that use, fund, buy, help build, oversee, regulate, or advise on tools such as machine learning, natural language processing, and other AI methods when those tools can meaningfully affect programs, economic opportunities, or protected rights.
• Each covered agency must keep a civil rights office with the right staff for this work. The office must include experts and technologists who focus on bias, discrimination, and other harms tied to covered algorithms.
• The bill protects a wide range of personal traits. These include race, color, ethnicity, national origin, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability, age, income level, veteran status, genetic information, and any other class protected by federal law.
• Each civil rights office must send written reports to Congress. The first report is due within one year after the law takes effect, and new reports are due every two years after that.
• The reports must explain what is happening with algorithmic technology in the agency’s field. They must also cover risks, steps taken to reduce harm, outreach to outside groups, and suggested changes to laws or agency rules.
