Executive Order 20-36 implements a 10 percent salary cut for the remainder of the year for the Governor, Chief of Staff, and cabinet agency commissioners. On April 13, Minnesota Management and Budget instituted a hiring freeze on all executive branch positions.
This Executive Order is effective immediately.
