HF 3291 Minnesota House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Conduct deemed discriminatory by a place of public accommodation clarified.

HF 3291 clarifies Minnesota's anti-discrimination law for public accommodations (like businesses and services open to the public) by specifying prohibited conduct related to disability access. It explicitly requires closed-captioning for television services when provided to others and defines accessible medical equipment (such as adjustable examination tables, transfer boards, and lifts) that must be available for individuals with mobility disabilities. The bill amends Minnesota Statutes § 363A.11 to clarify that businesses must provide equal access through reasonable modifications and cannot exclude people with disabilities without justification. This directly affects public accommodations that serve customers with disabilities, ensuring they meet specific accessibility standards. The changes focus on concrete policy requirements rather than new prohibitions.
