HF 3707 Minnesota House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Unemployment insurance judges and paid leave judges designated as judicial officials.

HF 3707 amends Minnesota law to officially designate unemployment insurance judges and paid leave judges as "judicial officials" under Minnesota Statutes section 480.40. This change directly affects these judges by extending to them the same privacy protections currently afforded to other judicial staff, such as restrictions on publishing personal information like home addresses or children's school details. The bill updates the legal definition within the statute to explicitly include employees of the Department of Employment and Economic Development's Unemployment Insurance and Paid Leave Divisions. This is a procedural adjustment clarifying their status, not a new policy or program.
