List of essential employees establishment

This bill expands Minnesota's definition of "essential employees" to include medical death technicians, medical death investigators, correctional facility guards, confidential employees, supervisory staff, assistant county/city attorneys, principals, and assistant principals. It specifically adds these roles to the existing list of essential workers, who are typically required to maintain operations during emergencies or strikes. The bill also establishes separate definitions for essential employees at state agencies, the University of Minnesota, and Hennepin Healthcare System, ensuring consistent coverage across different employer types. This change directly affects these specific worker categories across public safety, healthcare, education, and corrections sectors.
