Annual reports from partnership entities of the Intergovernmental Misclassification Enforcement and Education Partnership required, and money appropriated.

HF 2146 requires partnership entities in Minnesota's Intergovernmental Misclassification Enforcement and Education Partnership to submit annual reports starting March 1, 2026, detailing estimates of misclassified workers, costs to workers, impacts on fair competitors, and industry-specific misclassification rates. These reports must also include analyses from state departments on how misclassification affects unemployment insurance, family medical benefits, income tax collection, and workers' compensation programs. The bill appropriates general fund money for fiscal years 2026-2027 to the Departments of Labor, Revenue, Employment, Commerce, and the Attorney General specifically for analyzing misclassification fraud impacts. It directly affects partnership entities and state agencies responsible for labor enforcement and program oversight.
