HF 3799 Minnesota House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Provision on accommodation discrimination added to the human rights act.

HF 3799 adds a new provision to Minnesota's Human Rights Act, clarifying that failing to engage in a good-faith process to determine reasonable accommodations for people with disabilities may constitute discrimination. The bill specifically amends Section 363A.02(3), which prohibits discrimination in public accommodations like restaurants, stores, and services. It directly affects businesses and organizations providing public services by requiring them to actively work with individuals to find suitable accommodations. This change strengthens existing protections by explicitly stating that refusal to seek accommodations can violate anti-discrimination law.
