Minnesota HF23 modifies whistleblower protections for public employees.

Minnesota HF23 amends whistleblower protections for public employees by defining what constitutes a whistleblower and specifying the actions that are prohibited against them. The bill ensures that public employees who report violations, suspected violations, or planned violations of laws or regulations are protected from retaliation. It also covers employees who refuse to perform actions they believe violate laws or report gross mismanagement or waste of funds. The bill ensures that these disclosures do not authorize the disclosure of data otherwise protected by law.
