AI Summary
This bill modifies the definition of "sexual orientation" within the Minnesota Human Rights Act, which is the state law prohibiting discrimination. Specifically, it clarifies that sexual orientation refers to a person's emotional, physical, or sexual attraction to others based on their sex or gender identity, and that this can include attraction to men, women, both, neither, or individuals with other gender identities. The key change is the addition of language stating that sexual orientation does not include a physical or sexual attraction to children by an adult, thereby explicitly excluding pedophilic behavior from the protections or definitions related to sexual orientation under this act.
