Neurodata rights establishment

SF 1240 establishes new privacy rights for Minnesotans regarding brain activity data collected through neurotechnology. It grants individuals the right to mental privacy (preventing government collection of brain data without consent), cognitive liberty, mental integrity, and psychological continuity. The bill requires companies using brain-computer interfaces to obtain separate, informed consent for each data use and third-party sharing, and prohibits "consciousness bypass" (manipulating brain activity without awareness). Violations carry civil penalties up to $10,000 per incident, with amended criminal statutes adding penalties for unauthorized access to neurodata. This bill directly affects individuals using neurotechnology devices and the companies handling their brain activity data.
