Official summary

Abstract published by the legislature (via Open States). Text as published by the legislature; reproduced verbatim.

Artificial Intelligence Workforce Impact Act established; report. Establishes reporting requirements for each state agency in the Commonwealth relating to the impact of artificial intelligence on the workforce. The bill requires each agency to submit quarterly reports to the Department of Human Resource Management detailing workforce impacts as a result of the use of one or more artificial intelligence systems during the preceding quarter. If an agency reports 10 or more workforce impacts as a result of the use of one or more artificial intelligence systems within a fiscal year, the bill requires such agency to submit an Artificial Intelligence Workforce Transition Plan to the Department within 120 days of such quarterly report in which the threshold was reached. The bill provides that a state employee whose job is eliminated, materially changed, or restructured due to the use of one or more artificial intelligence systems shall be eligible for (i) retraining or upskilling programs coordinated through the Department and the Virginia Community College System; (ii) priority consideration for vacancies for which such employee is qualified within any state agency; (iii) career transition services offered through the Virginia Employment Commission; and (iv) any additional support measures offered by the Department. The bill requires the Department to review the information received by agencies under the bill and submit annual reports to the Governor, the Secretary of Administration, the Joint Legislative Audit and Review Commission, and the Chairs of the House Committee on Appropriations and the Senate Committee on Finance and Appropriations by November 1 of each year.
