Purpose of the Bill

The purpose of this Minnesota legislative bill is to limit the growth of state employment within executive branch state agencies.

Main Provisions

• The bill stipulates that the total number of full-time equivalent positions in executive branch state agencies cannot grow by a greater percentage than the state's population.
• The measurement period for this growth is from one fiscal year to the next.

Significant Changes

• This legislation introduces a restriction on the expansion of employment in state agencies by tying it directly to the growth rate of the population. This adds a demographic consideration to public sector employment planning and could potentially affect hiring practices.

Relevant Terms

growth of state employment, executive branch state agencies, full-time equivalent positions, state population growth, state demographer, fiscal year.
