SF 4750 Minnesota Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Prohibit withholding of federal income tax from state employee pay

This bill prohibits the state of Minnesota from withholding federal income tax from the paychecks of state employees. It directly affects the state's payroll system and all employees working for state agencies. The law requires the commissioner of management and budget and agency heads to stop deducting federal taxes from employee wages and to repeal existing statutes that authorized such withholdings. This change means state employees will receive their full gross pay without federal tax deductions, and the state will no longer act as an agent for collecting these taxes from employee salaries.
