Requiring consumers to engage in political activity prohibition
SF 1855 prohibits businesses from requiring consumers to engage in political activity (like signing petitions or providing contact details to contact officials) as a condition to access services through apps or websites. It requires businesses to provide a clear opt-out option so consumers can use the service without participating in political activity. This bill directly affects app and website providers that might have required political engagement for access, and protects consumers from being pressured into political actions. The proposed law, if passed, would make any terms forcing political activity void and unenforceable under Minnesota Statutes. The bill is currently in committee and has not yet been enacted.
