Minnesota House File 4369, the Safeguarding Human Intelligence and Employment in Labor Displacement Act, was introduced on March 16, 2026, and is pending in the House Workforce, Labor, and Economic Development Finance and Policy Committee.
The bill would require employers to provide 90 days’ notice before deploying AI or automated technology that could displace workers. During the notice period, affected employees would continue to receive regular pay and must be offered reskilling or upskilling. Notice would also go to labour representatives, the Department of Labor and Industry, local officials, and regional workforce boards.
Penalties for non-compliance include fines of up to $10,000 per employee, back-pay liability to affected workers, and disqualification from state contracts and grants for up to five years.
Context: more than 31 percent of Minnesota jobs (around 813,000 workers) are assessed as having high exposure to generative AI automation, according to state analysis cited in committee proceedings.
The bill has five Democratic sponsors. No Republican co-sponsors. As of April 2026 it had progressed about 25 percent through the legislative process. It has not been enacted.
Score note: as a bill in committee, HF4369 does not yet change the legal position on dimensions 8 or 9. Scores remain at 0 pending enactment.
