Bill > SF3931

This bill prohibits the state of Minnesota from withholding federal income tax from the pay of state employees, meaning that the state government will no longer deduct federal income taxes from the salaries of its workers. This change is achieved by amending Minnesota Statutes section 290.92 to add a new subdivision that explicitly forbids the commissioner of management and budget or agency heads from withholding or remitting federal income tax when preparing payroll. Additionally, the bill repeals Minnesota Statutes section 16A.13, which previously outlined the procedures for the commissioner of management and budget to act as an agent for the federal government in collecting these withheld taxes from state employee pay. The intention behind this legislation is to shift the responsibility of managing federal income tax payments from the state to the individual state employees.
