Bill > HF1241

This bill repeals the Minnesota Paid Leave Law and transfers any unspent funds from the family medical leave account to the general fund, effective July 1, 2025. Specifically, the bill eliminates multiple sections of Minnesota Statutes that established a comprehensive paid family and medical leave program, which would have provided employees with benefits for various types of leave, including serious health conditions, family care, bonding with a new child, and safety leave. The bill completely removes the legal framework that would have required employers to contribute to a state-managed paid leave insurance program, including provisions for premium collection, benefit calculations, employee protections, and administrative procedures. By repealing these statutes, the bill effectively dismantles the state's planned paid leave program before it was fully implemented, returning any collected funds to the state's general fund and eliminating the program's administrative structure. The repeal would mean that Minnesota workers would no longer have access to the proposed state-funded paid family and medical leave benefits that were previously established by law.
