Minnesota Paid Leave Law exemption for certain individuals working in transportation occupations

SF 4058 exempts certain transportation workers from Minnesota's Paid Leave Law. It specifically excludes individuals in jobs regulated by the U.S. Department of Transportation (under 49 U.S.C. § 31502) and workers employed by businesses in the motor freight transportation and warehousing industry (defined by SIC codes 4212-01 through 4231-02). This means these workers will no longer be covered by the state's paid leave requirements, which typically mandate employer-provided paid leave for qualifying events like illness or family care. The bill adds these categories to the existing list of exemptions in Minnesota law, directly affecting transportation workers in these specific roles and industries.
