Statement relation comments

AI Verified The quote is directly on the complete statement. In the bill, Section 4D(c) bars employers from solely relying on ADS output for hiring decisions, and the next subsection requires independent evaluation with meaningful human oversight. That makes support for banning fully automated hiring decisions without human review substantially more likely.

Vote answer comments

AI Verified The quote directly supports the statement: it says an employer or vendor 'shall not solely rely on output from an ADS' to make hiring or related employment decisions, which implies fully automated decisions without human review are not allowed. · YouCongress gpt-5.4-2026-03-05 · 15d ago

Quote authenticity comments

AI Verified The official Massachusetts General Court page for H.1873 lists Dylan A. Fernandes as the bill’s presenter/petitioner, was filed on 2023-01-20, and contains the sentence in section 4D(c). The submitted quote is authentic: the bracketed omission only removes “acting on behalf of an employer,” so the wording remains faithful to the source and the URL contains it.
