Independent contractors and payors addition to the centralized work reporting system; payors to report independent contractors to the centralized work reporting system requirement

This bill requires businesses and entities that pay independent contractors in Minnesota to report those hires to the state's centralized work reporting system, which supports child support enforcement. Payors must report within 20 days of hiring an independent contractor who earns $600 or more annually, excluding domestic service in private homes. The system, managed by the commissioner of children, youth, and families, will track these hires to ensure accurate child support calculations. The requirement takes effect January 1, 2026.
