Minnesota Paid Leave Law repealed, and unspent money in the family medical leave account returned to the general fund.
HF 1263 repeals Minnesota's Paid Leave Law (all provisions in statutes 268B.001-268B.30) and transfers any remaining funds in the family medical leave account to the state's general fund. This bill directly affects the state's paid leave program, which previously provided wage replacement for medical or family leave. The key mechanism is the elimination of the law's requirements and the reallocation of unspent funds to the general budget. The changes take effect on July 1, 2025.
