2025 Session Last amended: 2023 session

§ 268B.17 — Administrative Costs

Plain-Language Summary

This section limits administrative spending for the paid leave program to no more than 7% of projected annual benefit payments. The department can share funds with the Department of Labor and Industry and the Department of Commerce for enforcement and other duties under the program.

Practical Notes
The 7% cap helps ensure that most of the money collected through premiums goes toward paying benefits to workers rather than administrative costs. This spending limit applies starting January 1, 2026.
