Bill > SF2529

This bill delays the implementation of the Minnesota Paid Leave Law by one year, making significant changes to various sections of the state statutes related to paid family and medical leave. Specifically, the bill shifts key implementation dates from 2026 to 2027 for multiple provisions, including procurement exemptions, employer premium rates, administrative costs, public outreach, and annual reporting requirements. The changes affect when employers must start paying premiums, when the state can spend administrative funds, and when various notice and reporting requirements take effect. The bill modifies effective dates for numerous sections of the law, with some provisions becoming effective in November 2026 and others in January 2027. The changes impact areas such as premium collection, benefit eligibility, employer notifications, and administrative processes, essentially giving businesses and the state an additional year to prepare for the full implementation of the Minnesota Paid Leave Law. The bill also includes a provision that supersedes any previous effective date amendments, ensuring a clear and consistent implementation timeline for the paid leave program.
