Constitutional amendment proposal to prohibit any law that conditions the waiving of free speech rights

SF 3021 proposes a constitutional amendment to Minnesota's Constitution, prohibiting any law that requires individuals or entities to waive free speech rights as a condition for receiving government contracts, employment, or benefits (including those related to political boycotts). If approved by voters in 2026, this amendment would take effect January 1, 2027, and would directly affect government contractors, employees, and beneficiaries who might otherwise be forced to surrender free speech protections. The bill does not create new laws but would amend the state constitution to block future laws from conditioning government benefits on speech waivers. The amendment must be voted on by Minnesota residents in the 2026 general election.
