The bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2024, specifically section 268B.01, to exempt elected officials from the Minnesota Paid Leave Law. It introduces new language that clarifies the definition of "covered employment" by stating that it does not include employment of the state or a political subdivision as an elected official, a member of a legislative body, or a member of the judiciary. This change is reflected in the amendments to subdivision 15, where the previous exclusions are updated to include this new category.

Additionally, the bill modifies the definition of "employee" in subdivision 17 to explicitly state that it does not include employees of the state or a political subdivision who serve as elected officials, members of a legislative body, or members of the judiciary. This aligns with the intent of the bill to ensure that these officials are not subject to the provisions of the Minnesota Paid Leave Law. Overall, the bill aims to clarify the employment status of elected officials in relation to paid leave entitlements.
