Minnesota SF3662 amends the Human Rights Act to change how disparate impact is assessed in employment practices.

Minnesota SF3662 modifies the Human Rights Act to redefine how disparate impact is evaluated in employment practices. It requires employers to justify practices that disproportionately affect protected classes by demonstrating the practice's job-relatedness or its significant contribution to a business purpose. If justified, the charging party can still prevail by showing an equally effective practice with a lesser adverse impact.
