The Minnesota House Representative, Cedrick Frazier, was instrumental in the passing of Minnesota’s Paid Leave Law during the 2023 legislative session. The law, which has been supported by Minnesotans by more than a three-to-one margin, ensures citizens no longer need to select between earning a paycheck and caring for their loved ones. The new legislation is set to take effect from 1st January 2026, with immediate benefits available for eligible individuals. This law also provides a significant boost to workforce development, along with retention, and the economy.

Especially beneficial for workers in low-wage jobs and within BIPOC communities who often lack access to any paid time off, the Paid Family and Medical Leave law allows Minnesotans to take up to 12 weeks of medical leave for their personal needs or similar duration of family leave to care for others.
