HF 4445 Minnesota House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Use of automated decision systems in employment settings regulated.

This bill establishes rules for how employers in Minnesota can use automated decision systems like artificial intelligence and electronic monitoring tools in hiring, performance reviews, and other employment decisions. It defines key terms such as "automated decision system" and "worker data" to clarify what technologies and information are covered under the new regulations. The legislation requires employers to provide notice to workers when these systems are used and outlines specific protections for sensitive information like biometric data and health records. Employers must also ensure that any automated decisions do not unfairly discriminate against workers based on protected characteristics.
