Arbitration agreements required to be made after a consumer transaction, and arbitration agreements required to be clear and conspicuous.

This bill requires businesses in Minnesota to offer arbitration agreements to consumers only after completing a sale or lease, rather than including them as part of the initial transaction terms. The law mandates that any arbitration agreement must be presented separately from other contract terms and written in clear, conspicuous language that is easy for consumers to understand. If a business violates these requirements, the arbitration clause becomes unenforceable, but the rest of the contract remains valid. The changes take effect on August 1, 2026, and apply to all agreements signed on or after that date.
