SAINT PAUL, Minn. – On Thursday, the Minnesota House Judiciary Finance and Civil Law Division will consider HF 10, a bill authored by Rep. Kelly Moller (DFL – Shoreview), to modernize Minnesota’s sexual harassment law to remove such behavior from Minnesota workplaces. For decades, courts have upheld an unreasonable “severe or pervasive” threshold when applying sexual harassment law, making it extremely difficult for those who have experienced harassment to see justice and accountability. Rep. Moller’s bill will remove this roadblock by providing much-needed clarification to Minnesota’s Human Rights Act.
WHAT: House Judiciary Division hearing on HF 10, a bill aimed at eliminating sexual harassment from Minnesota workplaces.
WHO: Rep. Kelly Moller (DFL – Shoreview), bill chief-author; Sheila Engelmeier, attorney, Engelmeier & Umanah PA; Leslie L. Lienemann, attorney, Culberth & Lienemann, LLP; Megan Peterson, Executive Director, Gender Justice; survivors of sexual harassment.
WHEN: Thursday, February 7, 9:45 a.m.
WHERE: Room 10, State Office Building, 100 Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd., Saint Paul, 55155.
