This bill establishes new regulations for employers in Minnesota regarding the displacement of employees due to artificial intelligence (AI) and automated technologies. It requires covered employers—those with 50 or more full-time employees—to provide at least 90 days of advance written notice before any technological displacement that affects 25 or more employees or 25% of the workforce. The notice must include details about the functions to be automated, the number and classification of affected employees, the anticipated date of displacement, available retraining programs, and the identity of any vendors supplying the AI system.

Additionally, the bill mandates a transitional employment period of 90 days for affected employees, during which employers must offer continued employment or equivalent wages and cover the costs of retraining programs. Employers who fail to comply with these requirements will be ineligible for state grants, loans, or tax incentives for five years and may face civil penalties and liability for back pay to affected employees. The enforcement of these provisions will be overseen by the commissioner of labor and industry or the attorney general.
