Senate Taking Up CROWN Act Today
(St. Paul, MN) — The Minnesota Senate is expected to vote on a bill protecting hair styles for the first time today. The CROWN Act, meaning Creating a Respectful and Open World for Natural Hair, aims to ensure hair discrimination is legally included as a form of racial discrimination. The bill’s text says it would protect natural hair styles and textures. The bill has been passed by the state House multiple times, but has never received a vote by the Senate.
