Key Requirement
HB 2094 would have required high-risk AI developers to implement safeguards against algorithmic discrimination. Governor Youngkin vetoed the bill on March 24, 2025; no dedicated AI law currently in effect.
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.
