HF 4180 Minnesota House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Requirements governing air transport and contracting related to detained individuals established.

This bill establishes new requirements for airlines and ground service providers transporting detained individuals in Minnesota. It mandates that a standardized passenger form be created to collect medical, legal, and contact information for each person being held in restraint or traveling involuntarily on an aircraft. The form must be available in multiple languages, and its completion is voluntary for the detained individual, with crew members required to keep it on board and share it with emergency responders if needed. Additionally, the bill prohibits refueling aircraft carrying restrained individuals unless they are removed to a climate-controlled area with access to water and restrooms. Ground service operators must maintain documentation of each transport and submit monthly reports to the state commissioner.
