This bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2024, specifically section 268B.01, to exempt certain agricultural workers from the Minnesota Paid Leave Law. The amendments introduce new definitions and exclusions regarding "covered employment," "employee," and "employer." Notably, the bill specifies that "covered employment" does not include individuals employed by a farmer, family farm, or family farm corporation to provide physical labor or management of a farm if the employer has five or fewer employees or if the individual works for 28 days or fewer each year.

Additionally, the definition of "employee" is updated to exclude those working under the same conditions as mentioned above, while the definition of "employer" is also revised to reflect these exemptions. The bill aims to clarify the status of agricultural workers in relation to the Paid Leave Law, ensuring that small-scale farmers and their employees are not subject to the same regulations as larger employers.
