Constitutional amendment to provide equal rights under the law and prohibiting discrimination based on a list of characteristics

This bill proposes adding a constitutional amendment to guarantee equal rights under Minnesota law and prohibit discrimination. It would protect individuals from discrimination based on race, color, national origin, ancestry, disability, and sex - including pregnancy decisions, gender identity, and sexual orientation. If approved by voters in the 2026 general election, the amendment would take effect January 1, 2027, and apply to all state agencies and political subdivisions. The amendment is self-executing and does not override existing anti-discrimination protections.
