State legislators and legislative employees required to pay 50 percent of the Minnesota Paid Leave Law premium.

This bill requires Minnesota state legislators and legislative employees to contribute 50 percent of the premium cost for the state's Paid Leave Law through wage deductions. The provision adds a new requirement to existing statutes that currently allows employers to pay at least half of the annual premiums while employees cover the remainder. By mandating that legislators and their staff split the premium cost equally with the state, the bill ensures they participate in the same paid leave funding structure as other employers and employees. This change directly affects the financial obligations of lawmakers and legislative workers, aligning their contributions with the broader paid leave system.
