The proposed bill aims to prohibit surveillance-based price and wage discrimination in Minnesota, introducing new legal language under Minnesota Statutes, chapter 325D. It defines key terms such as "automated decision system," "surveillance data," "consumer," and "worker," among others, to clarify the scope of the legislation. The bill establishes that individuals and entities are prohibited from engaging in surveillance-based price discrimination and wage discrimination, with specific exceptions outlined. For instance, differential pricing may be justified based on cost differences or discounts available to all consumers, while wage discrimination may be exempt if wages are based on individual worker data related to their tasks.

Additionally, the bill mandates that any person using an automated decision system for pricing or wage determination must develop and publish procedures to ensure data accuracy, allow for corrections, and provide transparency regarding the data considered in decision-making. The effective date for this legislation is set for August 1, 2026. Overall, the bill seeks to enhance consumer and worker protections against unfair pricing and wage practices driven by surveillance data.
