AI Summary
This bill requires employers in Minnesota to provide suitable seating for their employees and allow them to use it when their work reasonably permits. Suitable seating is defined as an adequate number of seats, including chairs, stools, or benches that support a person's back, placed close to the work area. The enforcement of this requirement will be handled by the commissioner, likely referring to the Commissioner of Labor and Industry, under existing laws related to occupational safety, and violations will be subject to penalties outlined in section 182.666 of Minnesota Statutes.
