AI Generated Summary

This bill, introduced in the Minnesota Senate, aims to prevent discrimination based on political affiliation. It proposes changes to the Minnesota Statutes to include political affiliation as a protected class alongside other established categories such as race, gender, and religion. This would make it illegal to discriminate against individuals in various areas including employment, housing, public accommodations, and credit based on their political beliefs or affiliations. The bill seeks to amend several statutes to ensure that political affiliation is considered a basis for non-discrimination, thus ensuring all individuals are treated equally regardless of their political views.
