The bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 268B.01, subdivision 18, to modify the definition of "employer" for the purposes of paid leave. Specifically, it excludes townships that meet a certain revenue threshold under section 367.36, subdivision 1, paragraph (c) from the definition of employer. This change aims to clarify which entities are considered employers in relation to paid leave regulations.
Additionally, the bill retains the inclusion of various entities such as the state, state agencies, and municipalities, while also maintaining the inclusion of charter schools as employers. The overall effect of this legislation is to refine the scope of employers subject to paid leave laws, thereby potentially reducing the obligations of certain local government entities, particularly townships that do not meet the specified revenue criteria.
