<br />
AB 2027 was approved by the Committee on Privacy and Consumer Protection and sent to the Assembly Committee on Appropriations on April 22, 2026.<ref name="tcapr24" /><br />
<br />
== Context ==<br />
<br />
AB 2027 is part of a broader package of California AI bills advancing in April 2026, alongside AB 2713 (AI Transparency Act adjustment), AB 2653 (Sweatfree AI Code of Conduct), and AB 2575 (AI in healthcare). The legislation responds to growing concerns about AI-driven workforce displacement and the use of employee data — including performance metrics, communications, and work product — to develop automation tools that could replace the workers who generated that data.<ref name="tcapr24" /><br />
