The bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 349.181, subdivision 3, to allow lessor employees to participate in pull-tab games while off duty. Previously, employees and volunteers involved in the conduct of various lawful gambling activities, including pull-tabs, were prohibited from participating as players in those games at the same premises. The new provision specifically states that lessor employees can engage in pull-tab games as long as they are not on duty and do not participate during their working hours.

This change aims to provide more flexibility for lessor employees, allowing them to enjoy pull-tab games outside of their work responsibilities. The amendment maintains existing restrictions on participation for employees and volunteers involved in other forms of gambling during their working hours or while actively engaged in the conduct of those games.
