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 of higher education may grant preferential treatment in admissions decisions based on a student's legacy status, defined as the familial relationship to an alumnus of the institution, or based on a familial 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 equity in the admissions process by eliminating advantages that may be afforded to certain applicants based on their family connections or financial contributions to the institution.
