Employers requiring or incentivizing public display of medical information prohibition

Minnesota Senate File 709 prohibits employers in Minnesota from requiring or incentivizing employees (including independent contractors, interns, and volunteers) to publicly display medical information, such as vaccination status. The bill directly affects all Minnesota employers - covering businesses, government agencies, and organizations - and bans coercive practices related to revealing health histories. Key mechanisms include imposing civil penalties of $10,000 per violation (plus attorney fees) and classifying violations as misdemeanors. The law takes effect the day after enactment, with no exemptions for public health emergencies or workplace safety.
