Key Requirement
Minnesota's Consumer Data Privacy Act lets consumers opt out of profiling and automated decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects, question the result of a profiling decision and learn how to change future outcomes, and requires controllers to complete data-protection assessments. No standalone Minnesota 'AI Transparency Act' exists.
Would require clear and conspicuous disclosure of artificial-intelligence-generated content. Passed the PA House in 2024; not yet enacted (reintroduced as HB 95 in the 2025-2026 session).
