The bill proposes to prohibit legacy admissions and admissions based on donor status in higher education institutions in Minnesota. It introduces new legal language under Minnesota Statutes, chapter 135A, specifically stating that no public or private institution shall give preferential treatment in admissions decisions based on an applicant's legacy status, defined as the familial relationship to an alumnus of the institution, or their relationship to any donor.

Additionally, the bill requests that the Board of Regents of the University of Minnesota comply with this prohibition. This legislative change aims to promote fairness and equality in the admissions process by eliminating advantages that may be granted to applicants based on their familial connections rather than their individual qualifications.
