This bill amends the definition of "sexual orientation" within the Minnesota Human Rights Act as outlined in Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 363A.03, subdivision 44. The revised definition clarifies that "sexual orientation" refers to the emotional, physical, or sexual attraction a person has towards others based on sex or gender identity, which can include attraction to men, women, both, neither, or individuals with diverse gender identities.

Additionally, the bill introduces a significant new provision stating that "sexual orientation" does not encompass any physical or sexual attraction to children by adults. This insertion aims to delineate acceptable definitions of sexual orientation while reinforcing protections against predatory behavior.
