SF 4333 Minnesota Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Rest break and meal break requirements under certain circumstances adjustment

This bill modifies Minnesota's employment laws to create specific exemptions from rest and meal break requirements for certain workers. It directly affects employees who are the sole workers at a location while providing life-sustaining services, caring for vulnerable adults, or responding to emergencies. Under the new provisions, these exempted employees would not be required to take mandated breaks, though they must still be allowed time to use the restroom and eat meals while working. The changes amend existing state statutes to clarify these exemptions without removing all break protections.
