Minnesota is the latest jurisdiction to enact a pay transparency law, joining other localities such as California, Colorado, Illinois, Maryland and Washington, D.C., New York, and Washington state that are taking steps to address pay disparity concerns.
On May 17, 2024, Minnesota Gov. Walz signed the Omnibus Labor and Industry policy bill, including new job posting requirements. This law is in addition to existing Minnesota wage disclosure protections for employees.
The new law takes effect Jan. 1, 2025.
