Bill Summary

Social network password as condition of employment requirement prohibition

AI Summary

This bill prohibits employers in Minnesota from demanding an applicant's or employee's social media password as a condition of employment or for consideration of employment. This means employers cannot ask for the login details to access personal accounts on websites like Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram, which are defined as "social networking sites" where users create profiles, list connections, and navigate those connections. The bill clarifies that this prohibition does not prevent employers from having their own policies about how employees use company-provided technology, including internet and social media access.
