A bill moving through the Minnesota Legislature could affect how house passes earned sick and safe time mandate is handled in Greater East Side.
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 Greater East Side can follow amendments and contact Foung Hawj regarding the final language.
