HF2 establishes a state-run insurance program to provide Minnesota workers with up to 12 weeks of paid family leave and up to an additional 12 weeks of paid medical leave per year.
The Minnesota State House of Representatives passed HF2 on May 17, 2023 by a vote of 69 to 62. We have assigned pluses to the nays because insurance should be offered by the private sector, not government. Expanding paid family leave is just another step towards socialism, since this program places the cost on taxpayers.
