Definition of employee modification under the Minnesota Fair Labor Standards Act and whistleblower protections to explicitly include incarcerated people
This bill reclassifies incarcerated people in Minnesota's state and local correctional facilities as employees. This change would extend labor law protections, including minimum wage and whistleblower protections, to incarcerated individuals who provide labor. The bill also establishes a task force to oversee the implementation of these changes and requires a report on its progress and outcomes.
