What the law actually requires

Three obligations, in order. Missing any one is a violation.

Local Law 144 has been in effect since January 2023, but enforcement was largely complaint-driven. That changed after a December 2025 State Comptroller audit found the enforcement process ineffective and DCWP committed to proactive investigation.

  1. 01

    Audit before use

    An independent bias audit conducted no more than one year before the tool is used. Selection or scoring rates by sex, race and ethnicity, and their intersections. This is an annual obligation, not a one-time clearance.

  2. 02

    Publish the summary

    A summary of the most recent audit results posted publicly on your website, along with the distribution date of the tool. The opt-out instructions belong here too.

  3. 03

    Notify candidates

    At least ten business days before use, with the job qualifications and characteristics the tool assesses, and a route to request an alternative process that is genuinely available — not a paper option nobody can actually take.

The scope surprise. Coverage follows the candidate, not the company. A remote-first employer headquartered in Denver with one applicant in Queens is in scope for that evaluation.

Most companies discover their exposure inside an applicant tracking system or assessment vendor they assumed was manual.
