Surveillance-based price and wage discrimination prohibited.

This bill prohibits businesses in Minnesota from using automated systems to set different prices or wages for individuals based on surveillance data about their personal characteristics, behaviors, or biometrics. The law defines surveillance data to include information gathered from web browsing history, purchase records, locations, and biological identifiers like fingerprints or facial scans. Companies may still charge different prices if they can prove the differences are due to actual costs of providing goods or services, offer public discounts to specific groups like veterans or students, or if insurers use only risk-relevant data for insurance pricing. The legislation directly affects businesses, insurers, and employers who use data-driven pricing or compensation systems.
