    Artificial Intelligence (AI): SHRM is committed to collaborating with state and local lawmakers on meaningful policy solutions that advance responsible AI development and support innovation. In 2025, SHRM will actively partner with New York state legislators to regulate the development and deployment of AI, including automated employment decision systems, with a focus on AI displacement and AI literacy. To date, New York lawmakers have introduced legislation mandating transparency and regulation of AI by state agencies (A.433) and targeting the use of electronic monitoring and automated decision tools by employers (S.185). SHRM will continue to monitor developments in this policy space and looks forward to serving as a resource for policymakers to harness AI's potential to create more dynamic, inclusive, and productive workplaces.
    Noncompete Agreements: SHRM advocates for a balanced approach to noncompete agreements that protects both employers and employees. SHRM opposes blanket bans and supports well-structured agreements that do not stifle innovation or worker mobility. With the discontinuation of the FTC noncompete rule, SHRM expects a blanket ban on noncompete agreements to be introduced in 2025. Therefore, SHRM plans to oppose this legislation and urge lawmakers to consider less restrictive alternatives that protect all parties.
    Supporting Untapped Pools of Talent: SHRM encourages hiring from untapped pools of talent, such as veterans, military spouses and caregivers, older workers, individuals with disabilities, those with a criminal record, and young people who are neither in school nor employed. In 2025, SHRM intends to support legislation that increases workforce participation and ensures that all individuals can contribute to and benefit from the evolving world of work. In 2024, SHRM supported legislation signed into law by Governor Hochul that allows combat veterans to transfer unused education benefits to their dependents. SHRM also supported a New York City amendment that prohibits employment discrimination based on criminal history. We will continue to advocate for legislation that allows justice-impacted individuals to fulfill their potential and contribute more meaningfully to their communities.
