Overview
This bill, the California Worker Technological Displacement Act, aims to protect workers from job losses due to automation by requiring employers to provide advance notice of technological displacement caused by AI or other automated technologies. Specifically, it mandates 60-day written notices to workers, the Employment Development Department (EDD), and local officials, including detailed information about the impacted jobs and the technology driving the change. The bill also establishes a fund for penalties and requires the EDD to track and report on worker displacement due to AI, with additional protections for workers in affected companies.

- Establishes a fund to collect penalties for non-compliance.
- Entitles workers with over 100 employees to a right of first bid on other positions within the company during the 60-day notice period.
- Requires local educational agencies and community college districts to provide the EDD with similar notices when they announce layoffs.
