Rulemaking Activity

State agencies are required by Minnesota Statutes to maintain a current rulemaking docket, if any, describing the status of rulemaking activities in progress or under consideration within the agency. This is the status report, or docket, on rule changes being considered and recently adopted for the Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development.

Process

Rulemaking in Minnesota follows the procedures outlined in the Minnesota Administrative Procedure Act in Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 14. Paid Leave carried out a robust expedited rulemaking process in 2024 where we held virtual listening sessions and collected hundreds of written comments. This input helped shape the final rules. 

Public comments are available to review at the Office of Administrative Hearings website: Office of Administrative Hearings Comments on Rules.
