Election judge employment status clarified.

HF 637 clarifies that election judges in Minnesota are not considered employees of the local government body (like a county) that appoints them. The bill specifically prohibits appointing authorities from requiring election judges to meet employment conditions unrelated to their election duties, such as background checks or training typically required for permanent staff. This directly affects election judges and local election officials who appoint them. The bill amends Minnesota law to prevent local governments from imposing unnecessary employment rules on temporary election judges.
