Beginning January 1, 2027, within 30 days of an adverse consequential decision made using covered automated decision-making technology, the deployer must give the consumer a plain-language explanation covering the AI's role in the decision, its degree of contribution, the types of data processed, and the sources of that data.

What Counts

• Explanation delivered inside the 30-day window running from the adverse decision
• Plain-language account of what the ADMT contributed and how much it drove the outcome
• Identification of the categories of personal data processed
• Identification of where that data came from

What Does Not Count

• Explanation supplied only on the consumer's second or escalated request
• A conclusory statement that the decision "was based on your profile"
• Technical model documentation offered in place of a plain-language explanation
• Omitting degree of contribution while describing only the data used
