California Assembly Bill 2656 (Petrie-Norris) adds Section 3558.10 to the Government Code to require certain state and local public employers to give recognized employee organizations at least 45 days' written notice before taking any action to develop, purchase, or require the use of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) to perform a service that falls within the scope of work of a job classification represented by that employee organization. The bill defines 'generative artificial intelligence' and 'artificial intelligence' by reference to the definitions in Government Code Section 11549.64. The covered public employers are those identified in subdivision (a) of Government Code Section 3555.5. The bill builds on existing policy context, including Executive Order N-12-23 and Chapter 928 of the Statutes of 2024 (the Generative Artificial Intelligence Accountability Act), which established frameworks for state agencies to assess GenAI use cases and consult with employee representatives.
