Connecticut's SB 5 AI Regulation requires employers to notify applicants when AI is used in hiring and holds third-party AI platforms liable for discriminatory outcomes. Its companion bill, SB 4, establishes a mandatory data broker registry and consumer data deletion mechanism. Both are awaiting Governor Lamont's signature; SB 5 enforcement begins January 1, 2028.

Checkr Takeaway: Customers using AI-assisted screening tools for Connecticut roles should review both bills upon signing, assess third-party liability exposure under SB 5, and evaluate whether the data broker registry affects access to Connecticut consumer data in background screening workflows.
