Definition of employer modification for purposes of paid leave to exclude townships authorization
This bill amends Minnesota's paid leave law by changing the definition of "employer" to specifically exclude townships that meet certain revenue requirements under state law. It removes townships (local government units) from the list of entities required to provide paid leave to their employees, but only for townships meeting the revenue threshold outlined in section 367.36, subdivision 1, paragraph (c). The change affects only townships meeting this specific financial criterion, leaving counties, cities, school districts, and other public entities subject to the paid leave requirements. This is a technical clarification to the existing law, not a new policy.
