Bill > SF2586

This bill modifies the definition of "employer" in Minnesota's earned sick and safe time law to exclude certain townships from being considered employers. Specifically, the bill amends the existing statute to remove townships that meet a specific revenue threshold (defined in section 367.36, subdivision 1, paragraph (c)) from the list of entities that are considered employers for the purposes of earned sick and safe time regulations. The existing law previously included townships, along with other governmental entities like counties, cities, and school districts, as potential employers. By making this change, townships meeting the specified revenue criteria will no longer be required to provide earned sick and safe time to their employees. The bill aims to provide a narrow exemption for townships that reach a certain size or financial status, potentially reducing administrative burden for smaller local government entities while maintaining the earned sick and safe time requirements for other employers.
