This bill introduces new provisions regarding cash transactions and modifies existing regulations related to health insurance benefit plans for nonrepresented employees and managerial staff in Minnesota. It authorizes state agencies to round cash payments or transfers in specific ways, such as rounding down amounts ending in 1, 2, 6, or 7 cents to the nearest multiple of 5 cents, and rounding up amounts ending in 3, 4, 8, or 9 cents. Additionally, transactions totaling $0.01 or $0.02 must be rounded up to $0.05. Agencies are required to establish and post a policy for rounding cash transactions at locations where such transactions occur. However, this rounding policy does not apply to electronic payments or other similar methods.

Furthermore, the bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2025 Supplement, section 43A.23, subdivision 1, by changing the requirement for health insurance benefit plans offered to nonrepresented employees and managerial staff. The previous mandate that these plans "must" be compatible with high-deductible health plans has been changed to "may," providing more flexibility in the types of health plans that can be offered. This change allows for a broader range of health insurance options while still ensuring compliance with necessary coverage mandates and consumer protection requirements.
