Certain individuals working in transportation occupations exempted from Minnesota Paid Leave Law.

This bill exempts certain workers in transportation occupations from Minnesota's Paid Leave Law. It directly affects employees working for motor freight transportation and warehousing companies, as well as individuals in roles regulated by the U.S. Department of Transportation for hours of service. The law adds these two categories to the list of excluded workers in the state's paid leave statute. By removing these workers from the program's coverage, they would not be eligible for paid leave benefits under this specific law. The bill also allows excluded entities to opt into the program if they choose to do so.
