HF 5090 Minnesota House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Disorderly house crime expanded.

This bill expands the legal definition of a "disorderly house" in Minnesota to include commercial establishments where high-risk sexual activities occur habitually, provided the owner or manager knows about them. The legislation specifically defines "high-risk sexual conduct" as activities likely to spread diseases through bodily fluid exchange, such as anonymous sex or sex with multiple partners. While the law already covers places involved in prostitution, gambling, or drug sales, this change adds a new category targeting venues facilitating unsafe sexual behavior. The new provisions will take effect on August 1, 2026, and apply to crimes committed on or after that date.
