Bill > SF4333

This bill adjusts existing employment laws in Minnesota regarding rest and meal breaks, specifically by adding exemptions to current requirements under certain critical circumstances. The bill amends Minnesota Statutes sections 177.253 and 177.254, which outline these break requirements. The new provisions state that employees who are the sole worker at a location and are providing life-sustaining services, working with a vulnerable adult (defined as someone at risk of harm due to age or disability), or are involved in an emergency response are exempt from standard rest and meal break rules. However, even in these exempt situations, employees must still be allowed to use the restroom and eat a meal while working.
