A bill moving through the Minnesota Legislature could affect how house passes earned sick and safe time mandate is handled in Summit-University.
Dave Baker proposed an amendment to have the bill only apply to employers of more than 25 employees.
The commissioner of Labor and Industry could fine employers up to $10,000 if they don’t submit required wage records upon the commissioner’s request.
The bill, which passed 69-54, would take effect in January 2024.
Under HF 19, for costs related to statewide earned sick and safe time, the state would appropriate in fiscal year 2024 $1.45 million to the commissioner; $20,000 to the commissioner of Management and Budget; $127,000 to executive branch state agencies, boards and commissioners; $18,000 for the House of Representatives to modify timecard and human resources systems for its own compliance; and $1,000 for the Supreme Court’s costs for employment rights notice requirements.
Additional amounts are appropriated for fiscal years 2025 and beyond.
In fiscal year 2025, the Supreme Court would receive $494,000 for a new unit in the Ninth Judicial District.
In subsequent years, the court would receive a general fund base of $461,000.
As the measure advances, residents of Summit-University can follow amendments and contact María Isa Pérez-Vega regarding the final language.
