Rep. Kelly Moller

Maddy summaryThis bill requires ticket resellers and online marketplaces to clearly disclose pricing information to consumers when selling event tickets in Minnesota. The law mandates that sellers show the total ticket cost including all fees, the original purchase price, and the percentage markup above that original price. It also requires websites to inform buyers that resale prices may vary from original prices and that they are responsible for checking event changes before the event begins. Additionally, the bill establishes definitions for key terms like ticket reseller and online ticket marketplace to clarify who must comply with these disclosure requirements.

Maddy summaryHF 3335 proposes a constitutional amendment to prohibit slavery or involuntary servitude as a criminal punishment, removing the current exception in Minnesota's constitution that allows it for convicted criminals. The amendment would require voter approval at the 2026 general election, with the ballot question asking: "Shall the Minnesota Constitution be amended to prohibit slavery or involuntary servitude as criminal punishment for a crime?" If passed, it would ban forced labor as a penalty for any crime, affecting Minnesota's criminal sentencing laws. This change would eliminate a historical loophole in the state constitution that permits involuntary servitude as punishment for offenses.

Maddy summaryHF 2380 prohibits discrimination against individuals with disabilities in services, programs, or activities receiving state funding in Minnesota. It directly affects public and private entities (like schools, hospitals, and businesses) that receive state money. The bill requires these entities to provide reasonable accommodations and bans exclusion or denial of benefits due to disability. It also specifically prohibits businesses from banning service animals or charging extra fees for them, defining "disability" broadly to include conditions substantially limiting major life activities.

Maddy summaryHF 3658 modifies Minnesota's process for extreme risk protection orders (ERPOs), which are temporary court orders preventing individuals deemed a threat from accessing firearms. The bill expands who can file petitions - including law enforcement agencies, family/household members, and guardians - while clarifying definitions of "family or household members" and requiring specific evidence in petitions. Key changes include waiving court filing fees, mandating mental health professionals to report firearm-related suicide risks to law enforcement, and requiring courts to notify law enforcement and update background checks within 24 hours of issuing an order. These changes aim to streamline access to ERPOs for at-risk individuals and improve enforcement coordination.

Maddy summarySF 1750 modifies Minnesota laws governing common interest communities (like homeowners associations). It bans property managers from having financial ties to contractors without written disclosure, prohibits accepting kickbacks from contractors, and stops them from earning fees based on collected fines. The bill also limits automatic contract renewals (requiring 30 days' notice for nonrenewal) and mandates 60 days' notice for termination. These changes directly affect homeowners associations and their property management companies operating under Minnesota Statutes.

Maddy summaryThis bill is a non-binding resolution that expresses the Minnesota House of Representatives' official stance against extrajudicial, summary, or arbitrary killings. It formally condemns these practices and affirms support for the Minnesota Protocol, a set of international guidelines used to investigate suspicious deaths and hold authorities accountable. The resolution emphasizes the need for prompt, independent, and transparent investigations while acknowledging the historical origin of the protocol in Minnesota. As a symbolic measure, it does not create new laws or alter government procedures but serves to publicly declare the legislature's values on human rights and justice.

Maddy summaryHF 2700 modifies Minnesota's Consumer Data Privacy Act by explicitly classifying consumer health data as a type of sensitive data requiring heightened protections. The bill adds new consent requirements for businesses processing health information and strengthens safeguards for all sensitive data, including health, genetic, and biometric information. It directly affects Minnesota residents whose health data is collected by businesses and requires those businesses to obtain clear, specific consent before using such data. The law amends key sections of Minnesota Statutes (325M.11-325M.20) to implement these changes, repealing the previous section that defined health data protections.

Maddy summaryThis bill classifies domestic assault by strangulation as a violent crime under Minnesota law. It achieves this by adding a specific reference to strangulation statutes within the state's definition of violent crimes, which determines how certain offenses are categorized and potentially punished. The changes apply to cases involving crimes committed on or after August 1, 2026.

Maddy summaryThis bill strengthens penalties for violating domestic violence protection orders in Minnesota by categorizing repeat offenses and those involving weapons as more serious crimes. Under the new rules, a first violation is a misdemeanor with a minimum three-day jail sentence, while a second violation within ten years becomes a gross misdemeanor with a minimum ten-day sentence. A third violation within that same period or any violation involving a weapon or a prior felony conviction is classified as a felony punishable by up to five years in prison. The legislation also clarifies arrest procedures, requiring officers to hold violators for at least 36 hours and granting immunity from civil lawsuits to officers acting in good faith.

Maddy summaryThis bill requires homeowner's insurance policies in Minnesota to cover damage caused by peace officers using chemical irritants, smoke screens, or diversionary devices when the homeowner is entitled to compensation from the government. Effective January 1, 2027, insurers cannot exclude coverage for this specific type of damage and must allow homeowners to select their own mitigation contractors and industrial hygienists to address the harm. The law also permits insurers to require homeowners to transfer their right to claim compensation to the insurance company, while maintaining the government's obligation to pay just compensation for such incidents.
