In recent years, many cities and states across the country have passed employment laws addressing matters such as paid sick leave, paid family leave, minimum wage requirements, restrictions on requesting criminal history information from applicants and other matters. Some states have passed preemption statutes limiting the ability of cities to pass certain laws. This panel will discuss recently considered and passed local ordinances, including paid sick leave ordinances scheduled to take effect in Minneapolis and Saint Paul later this year, and various other topics related to legislating employment matters in Minnesota at the state and local level.
Lunch will be provided.
