SF 3670: Cannabis laboratory testing requirements extension provision

SF 3670 extends the deadline for certain cannabis and hemp product testing requirements. It delays the requirement that labs testing lower-potency hemp edibles and hemp consumer products (without intoxicating cannabinoids) must be accredited under ISO/IEC 17025 until May 31, 2027 - previously set for January 1, 2026. This directly affects cannabis and hemp businesses selling these products, giving them more time to meet lab accreditation standards. The bill amends Minnesota Statutes 342.61 to update this deadline, ensuring continued compliance without disrupting sales during the transition period. The change is limited to the testing deadline and does not alter other product testing rules.

SF 3996: School safety policies development requirement, School Safety Advisory Council establishment, and Minnesota School Safety Center appropriation

Minnesota bill SF 3996 requires all public K-12 schools and charter schools to develop evidence-based school safety plans by May 2028. The Minnesota School Safety Center will create a model plan based on research showing effectiveness, review local plans for compliance, and notify schools if their plans don't meet standards. Schools that fail to adopt approved plans must inform parents by August 2028 about the lack of a safety plan. The bill also mandates the center to employ at least two mental health professionals and post annual reports on school safety plan adoption. This law directly affects Minnesota's school districts, requiring concrete changes to safety planning processes.

SF 1310: Ballot language amendment to school district referenda

This bill requires school districts to include specific details on ballot questions for capital projects, such as the project description, estimated cost, commissioner review status (positive or negative), and tax rate limits. It standardizes ballot language for renewal referendums, mandating that notices clearly state voters are "renewing" an existing project rather than approving a new one. The changes apply to all school district referendums on capital projects or tax levies, ensuring voters receive consistent, clear information about project funding. These provisions amend Minnesota Statutes sections 123B.63 and 126C.17 to improve transparency in school finance referendums.

SF 1856: Usage of artificial intelligence in the utilization review process prohibition provision

SF 1856 prohibits health insurance utilization review organizations in Minnesota from using artificial intelligence in any part of their review, evaluation, determination, or appeals processes. The bill directly affects health insurers and their utilization review contractors by banning AI tools in decisions about patient care coverage. It amends Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 62M.02, defining "artificial intelligence" per federal law (15 U.S.C. §9401) and explicitly banning its use in these processes. The law creates a clear policy change requiring human review for insurance coverage decisions.

SF 3098: Prohibition from using artificial intelligence to dynamically set product prices

Minnesota Senate Bill SF 3098 prohibits businesses from using artificial intelligence to adjust product prices in real time based on factors like competitor prices, customer behavior, or inventory levels. It directly affects retailers and online sellers that currently use AI-driven dynamic pricing systems. The bill defines artificial intelligence broadly as systems that generate outputs to influence environments and bans AI from setting or controlling prices dynamically. Enforcement would be handled by the attorney general under existing consumer protection laws (Minnesota Statutes, section 8.31). The measure aims to prevent AI from enabling rapid, opaque price changes that could disadvantage consumers.

SF 1886 requires businesses to disclose when individuals are communicating with artificial intelligence (AI) during text or voice interactions, such as with chatbots or voice assistants. It directly affects businesses using AI for customer communication, including companies offering services online or via phone. The bill mandates clear disclosure that the user is interacting with AI, prohibits misleading customers into thinking they are speaking with a human, and requires businesses to offer an option to switch to a human representative. Violations could result in $1,000 per incident for individuals or up to $5 million in civil penalties for businesses.

This bill modifies Minnesota health and human services laws by updating record access rules, removing outdated references to chapter 144D, requiring documentation when patient restraints are used, and clarifying ownership change procedures for care facilities. It gives the state health commissioner authority to request and review facility records for verification purposes and establishes penalties for noncompliance with information access requirements. The legislation also updates definitions and operational rules for various types of residential care facilities, including boarding care homes, nursing homes, and assisted living facilities, while removing references to a registration chapter that is no longer in use.

SF 4354: Program integrity requirements modification for the medical assistance program

This bill modifies program integrity requirements for Minnesota's medical assistance program by creating a new advisory board and updating rules for provider enrollment and audits. It expands the commissioner of human services' authority to impose sanctions on individuals or entities that commit fraud, submit false claims, or engage in other misconduct related to medical assistance payments. The legislation also clarifies grounds for sanctions, including Medicare exclusion reasons, and requires the commissioner to consider the severity of misconduct when deciding between suspending or terminating program participation. Additionally, the bill mandates minimum five-year suspensions for those convicted of health care fraud or related crimes, and allows referrals to state licensing boards regardless of sanctions imposed.

SF 4056: Minnesota Human Rights Act to provide protection for veterans

SF 4056 amends Minnesota's Human Rights Act to add "veteran or military status" as a protected class under state anti-discrimination law. This means veterans and active-duty military personnel in Minnesota are now explicitly protected from discrimination in employment, housing, public accommodations, public services, and education. The bill defines "veteran or military status" using the federal standard from U.S. Code Title 38. It directly affects veterans and military personnel by expanding existing protections previously not specifically included in Minnesota's law.

The office will coordinate evidence-based efforts to reduce gun violence, conduct research, collect and report statewide data on gun incidents and deaths, run public health campaigns, support victims, and build partnerships with local and national experts. It requires an annual report to the legislature on the office's activities and appropriates funds for fiscal years 2026 and 2027 to support these efforts.

HF 13: Duty to retreat before using reasonable force in defense of self or others eliminated.

HF 13 would amend Minnesota Statutes section 609.06 to eliminate the requirement that individuals must attempt to retreat before using reasonable force in self-defense or defense of others. The bill specifically removes the "duty to retreat" provision, allowing people to use force without first trying to avoid confrontation if they reasonably believe it is necessary. This change would directly affect Minnesotans using force to defend themselves or others in situations where they perceive an immediate threat. The bill was introduced but not passed, as it was laid on the table during the 2025 legislative session.
