Minnesota SF863 clarifies that employers cannot retaliate against employees for political contributions or activities.

Minnesota SF863 amends state law to clarify that employers, individuals, or associations cannot engage in economic reprisals or threaten loss of employment or physical harm against an individual or association due to their political contributions or activities, including running for elected office. This protection does not apply if the political affiliation or viewpoint of the employee is a bona fide occupational qualification of the employment. Violations of this provision are classified as a gross misdemeanor.
