Amends Minnesota law to modify the process for resolving disparate impact cases in employment.

The bill amends Minnesota Statutes to change the process for resolving disparate impact cases in employment. It requires employers to justify challenged practices by demonstrating they are manifestly related to the job or significantly further important purposes. If justified, the charging party can still prevail by showing a comparably effective practice with significantly lesser adverse impact on protected classes.
