This is key, New Jersey went out of it's wait to avoid using anything that could be a proxy for race like zip codes. They also used big data to come up with the algorithm, the algorithm itself[1] is pretty strait forward and is not a black box.

The fear in California is that some counties will use black box ML systems that WILL have bias even if it's not intentional, just like how biases in the training data of image recognition tend to misidentify pictures of black people more then white people.
