Bill > HF1904

This bill establishes new "neurodata rights" in Minnesota, which provide individuals with the right to mental privacy, cognitive liberty, and protection from unauthorized access or manipulation of their brain activity. The bill also modifies certain existing crimes, such as computer damage and unauthorized access to data systems, to add specific penalties if the crime involves a brain-computer interface or the collection of data directly from brain activity. The bill gives individuals the right to consent to the collection and use of their brain data and prohibits companies from bypassing an individual's conscious decision-making using neurotechnology, with some exceptions for medical procedures. The bill imposes civil penalties of up to $10,000 per violation for companies that fail to comply with these new requirements.
