Individuals working in positions regulated by the United States Department of Transportation exempted from earned sick and safe time requirements.

HF 1905 amends Minnesota's earned sick and safe time law to exempt certain transportation workers from the requirement. Specifically, it adds a new exclusion in the definition of "employee" for individuals working in positions regulated by the U.S. Department of Transportation under federal law (49 U.S.C. § 31502). This directly affects workers in DOT-regulated roles, such as commercial drivers or aviation personnel, who would no longer be required to accrue or use sick time under Minnesota's law. The bill modifies existing statute to clarify that these workers are excluded from the law's coverage, aligning with federal transportation regulations.
