Mental Health Warning Label (HF-2)

Authored by State Representative Zach Stephenson and included in the 2025 Special Session Health and Human Services bill, Minnesota’s Mental Health Warning Label law requires that social media platforms present a clear and conspicuous mental health warning each time a user accesses the platform. The warning must highlight the documented risks of social media use—especially for youth—and provide direct links to crisis services such as the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline. Platforms must comply by July 1, 2026.
