This bill introduces a new provision in Minnesota Statutes, chapter 268B, allowing employees to opt out of participation in the family or medical benefit program. Specifically, it mandates that employees can submit a form to the commissioner to formally elect to opt out of either or both programs. The commissioner is required to create and provide this opt-out form in both hard copy and online formats for employee accessibility.

The effective date of this new provision is set for the day following its final enactment, ensuring that employees can quickly take advantage of the opt-out option once the bill is passed. This change aims to provide employees with greater flexibility regarding their participation in the paid leave program.
