Bill > SF3021

This bill proposes a constitutional amendment to the Minnesota Constitution that would prohibit the government from conditioning any contracts, employment opportunities, or benefits on individuals waiving their free speech rights, specifically including political boycotts. If approved by voters in the 2026 general election, the amendment would become effective on January 1, 2027. The proposed amendment aims to protect individuals' constitutional rights by preventing government entities from requiring people to give up their free speech protections as a condition of receiving government contracts, jobs, or other benefits. When voters go to the polls, they will be asked to vote on the specific question: "Shall the Minnesota Constitution be amended to provide that no law shall condition any government contract, employment, or benefit on waiving free speech rights, including those of political boycotts?" This proposed amendment seeks to ensure that Minnesotans can exercise their free speech and engage in political expression, such as boycotts, without fear of losing government-related opportunities or support.
