Bill Summary
 
AI Summary
This bill amends Section 651 of the labor law, specifically subdivision 5, paragraph (n), to change how certain individuals are classified as employees for the purposes of labor law. Previously, individuals employed by a federal, state, or municipal government or its political subdivision were excluded from the definition of "employee." This bill removes the words "state or municipal" from this exclusion, meaning that individuals employed by state or municipal governments will now be considered employees under this section, while those employed by the federal government will continue to be excluded. The bill also references regulations of the commissioner, which are rules established by the labor commissioner to further define these exclusions.
