Bill > SF1771

This bill seeks to repeal the Minnesota Paid Leave Law, which was established to provide paid family and medical leave benefits to employees. The bill has two main provisions. First, it transfers any unspent funds from the family medical leave account to the general fund, effective July 1, 2025. Second, it repeals all sections of the existing Minnesota Paid Leave Law (sections 268B.001 through 268B.30), which would effectively dismantle the state's paid family and medical leave program. This means that the entire regulatory framework, including definitions, eligibility requirements, benefit calculations, employer premium requirements, and administrative processes for the state-run paid leave program, would be eliminated. The bill's effective date for these repeals is also July 1, 2025, which suggests a planned wind-down of the program over the next year. By repealing this law, Minnesota would no longer require employers to provide paid family and medical leave benefits or collect premiums for such a program.
