Overview

• Opposition Greens in the Hessian parliament have introduced a draft law to allow AI-driven administrative acts at both state and municipal levels.
• The proposal implements the EU’s AI regulation in Hessian administration to provide clear rules on when and how civil servants may use AI tools.
• Proponents argue the law will speed up applications, improve citizen experience and relieve staff from repetitive processes.
• The draft mandates transparency in algorithmic decisions and requires human review of any AI-based determinations.
• Green lawmakers contend existing administrative procedure statutes are outdated and too complex for handling automated decisions.
