Minnesota Senate passed SF 4686 on March 23, 2026, creating statutory requirements for employer disclosure of electronic monitoring tools used in the employment setting. The bill was introduced by Senators Erin Maye Quade (D) and Jen McEwen (D), passed through the Labor Committee and State and Local Government Committee during the 94th Legislature (2025-2026).

Minnesota employers must review their current electronic monitoring practices and ensure compliance with new disclosure requirements before the August 1, 2025 effective date. Employers should update employment policies, onboarding procedures, and workplace agreements to include required notifications about monitoring tools used to track employee activity, location, communications, or performance. Non-compliance may result in enforcement actions under Minnesota state employment law.
