The bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2024, specifically section 268B.01, to exempt individuals who are less than 15 years old from the Minnesota Paid Leave Law. This change is reflected in subdivisions 15 and 17, where the definition of "covered employment" and "employee" is updated to explicitly exclude individuals under the age of 15. The bill also maintains the existing exclusions for self-employed individuals, independent contractors, and seasonal employees.

In subdivision 15, the language is modified to clarify that "covered employment" does not include the employment of individuals who are less than 15 years old, in addition to the previously listed exclusions. Similarly, subdivision 17 is amended to state that individuals under 15 years old are not considered employees under this law. These amendments aim to provide clarity regarding the age eligibility for the Minnesota Paid Leave Law.
