Bill > SF366

This bill clarifies the employment status of election judges by amending Minnesota Statutes to specify that election judges are not considered employees of the appointing authority (such as a local government or election office). The legislation prevents appointing authorities from imposing employment conditions on election judges that are unrelated to their specific duties as election judges or that would be typically required for permanent employees. In essence, the bill seeks to protect the distinct and temporary nature of election judge roles by limiting the ability of appointing authorities to treat election judges as regular employees. Election judges are typically temporary workers who help manage polling places during elections, and this bill aims to ensure they are not subject to unnecessary workplace restrictions beyond the specific requirements of their election day responsibilities.
