The bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 609.33, to expand the definition of "disorderly house" and introduce new terms related to public safety. It removes the previous definition of "disorderly house" and replaces it with a more comprehensive definition that includes not only the sale of intoxicating liquor, gambling, prostitution, and controlled substances but also any commercial establishment where high-risk sexual conduct occurs with the knowledge of the owner, landlord, or manager. The bill also introduces a new definition for "high-risk sexual conduct," which encompasses sexual activities that may lead to the spread of sexually transmitted diseases due to bodily fluid exchange.

The effective date for these changes is set for August 1, 2026, and they will apply to crimes committed on or after that date. This legislative update aims to enhance public safety by addressing the issues associated with disorderly houses and high-risk sexual conduct more explicitly.
