Bill > HF11

This bill delays the implementation of the Minnesota Paid Leave Law by one year, modifying various effective dates and administrative provisions across multiple sections of state statutes. Specifically, the bill changes key implementation dates from 2026 to 2027 for critical aspects of the paid leave program, including procurement exemptions, employer premium rates, administrative cost allocations, public outreach requirements, and annual reporting deadlines. The changes impact how the state department will manage premium collections, conduct public education, and oversee the paid leave program. The bill includes detailed provisions for different sections of the law taking effect on either November 1, 2026, January 1, 2027, or July 1, 2026, depending on the specific administrative or operational aspect. The delay provides additional time for the state to prepare infrastructure, refine processes, and ensure smooth implementation of the comprehensive paid family and medical leave program, while maintaining the overall structure and intent of the original legislation.
