Rest break and meal break requirements under certain circumstances adjustment

Summary

The bill adds new exemptions to Minnesota’s rest‑break and meal‑break statutes. It says that if an employee is the only person on duty at a location and is providing a service that protects or sustains life, caring for a vulnerable adult, or responding to an emergency, the usual break requirements do not apply. Those workers still must be allowed time to use the restroom or eat a meal while on the job.
