"Minnesota's New Laws: Impact on Businesses, Workers, and Cannabis Tax"

New laws in Minnesota will have a significant impact on businesses and workers, including a first-in-the-nation ergonomics standard, lactation space requirements, a ban on non-compete agreements, tougher workplace safety penalties, and new taxes. The legalization of recreational cannabis in August will also affect employers, particularly in terms of safety-sensitive positions and liabilities. The Minnesota Chamber of Commerce is offering assistance to businesses in navigating these new laws and providing signage for compliance.
