This bill proposes the introduction of new legal provisions in Minnesota Statutes, chapter 325D, aimed at prohibiting surveillance-based price and wage discrimination. It defines key terms such as "automated decision system," "surveillance data," "consumer," and "worker," among others. The bill establishes that individuals and entities are prohibited from engaging in surveillance-based price discrimination, which involves using automated systems to set individualized prices based on surveillance data about consumers. Exceptions are provided for differential pricing justified by cost differences, discounts available to all consumers, and specific practices by insurers.

Additionally, the bill prohibits surveillance-based wage discrimination, which similarly involves using automated systems to determine individualized wages based on surveillance data about workers. It outlines conditions under which such discrimination does not occur, including the use of data specific to the worker's tasks and the requirement for employers to disclose the data considered by the automated decision system prior to hiring. The bill mandates that entities using automated decision systems develop and publish procedures to ensure data accuracy and allow consumers or workers to challenge data used in decision-making. The provisions of this bill are set to take effect on August 1, 2026.
