Right to Override ActThis bill requires employers of health care professionals to allow such professionals to override artificial intelligence clinical decision support systems. It also prohibits employers from retaliating against those who override these systems. The bill defines artificial intelligence clinical decision support systems as technology that supports decision-making through the use of algorithms or models that are based on clinical practice guidelines or training data and that produces predictions, recommendations, evaluations, or analysis.Health care facilities, health plans, and other entities (including government entities) that employ health care professionals and use these systems must adopt policies that allow health care professionals to use their independent judgment to override outputs from these systems. Such entities must also provide training and establish a committee to advise the entity on these systems. The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) must enforce these requirements, including by imposing civil penalties for violations.Also, the bill prohibits these employers from taking adverse employment actions, discriminating, or retaliating against those who override these systems in accordance with employer policies. The Department of Labor must enforce these protections, which may include civil penalties specified in the bill. Individuals alleging violations of these protections may (1) submit an administrative complaint to Labor, or (2) commence a civil action. State programs receiving federal funds do not have immunity regarding such civil actions brought by employees. States may also bring civil actions against employers for violating the bill’s requirements upon notice to HHS or Labor, as appropriate.

Federal Employees Civil Relief Act This bill establishes a framework to temporarily suspend certain judicial and administrative proceedings against a federal employee or contractor during a shutdown. Under the bill, a shutdown is a period in which (1) there is more than a 24-hour lapse in appropriations for any federal agency or department because a regular appropriations bill or a continuing resolution has not been enacted, or (2) the debt of the federal government is greater than the statutory limit. A federal worker (i.e., an employee of a government agency or contractor) who is furloughed or required to work without pay during a shutdown may apply to a court for a temporary stay, postponement, or suspension with respect to any payment of rent, mortgage, tax, fine, penalty, insurance premium, student loan repayment, or other civil obligation or liability that the worker owes or would owe during the duration of the shutdown. The bill includes related provisions that restrict evictions, foreclosures, the enforcement of liens, and the termination of insurance policies during a shutdown. It also provides for the deferral of federal income taxes and student loan payments during a shutdown. The Department of Justice may commence a civil action against any person who engages in (1) a pattern or practice of violating the requirements of this bill, or (2) a violation that raises an issue of significant public importance. A person aggrieved by a violation of this bill's requirements may also bring a private right of action.
