Explanation

(This amendment provides $200,000 each year from nongeneral funds and one positions to assist the Virginia IT Agency (VITA) with the implementation of Senate Bill 487, which would address staffing needs for implementation. The bill prohibits any public body from implementing any system that employs artificial intelligence unless such public body: (i) performs an initial impact assessment and ongoing impact assessments of such system to ensure its use will not result in any unlawful discrimination against any individual or group of individuals or have any disparate impact on any individual or group of individuals; and (ii) does not implement or ceases to use such system if such effects occur. The bill requires all public bodies that implement such systems to submit an annual report on such assessments and provide an inventory of all such systems used to the appropriate entity designated in the bill. The bill directs the Chief Information Officer of the Commonwealth to develop, publish, and maintain policies and procedures concerning systems that employ artificial intelligence and are used by public bodies.)
