Minnesota HF3614 amends the Human Rights Act to redefine disparate impact and clarify enforcement mechanisms.

Minnesota HF3614 modifies the Human Rights Act to redefine what constitutes a discriminatory effect under the law. It specifies that a practice has a discriminatory effect if it actually or predictably results in a disparate impact on a protected class or creates segregated housing patterns. The bill also allows a single person to pursue a claim if they have been injured by a practice that affects a group. Employers must justify practices that have a discriminatory effect by demonstrating they are job-related or significantly further a business purpose.
