California recently enacted a package of bills that represent one of the nation’s most comprehensive state-level efforts to regulate artificial intelligence (AI) in the workplace. The new laws touch nearly every phase of the employment relationship, from hiring and scheduling through discipline, termination, and mass layoffs. The package also regulates AI use by attorneys and arbitrators and the use of AI-generated likenesses. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This article is a summary of each bill, followed by practical compliance steps. Unless otherwise noted, the new laws take effect January 1, 2027, and employers, in-house legal teams, and outside counsel should begin preparing now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
