Here are a few fun facts<\/a> about Minnesota:<\/p>\n Who knew the blueberry muffin lobby held such sway?<\/p>\n A less fun facts about Minnesota is that the state has made it really hard to be an independent contractor in the construction industry. <\/p>\n In 2024, the state legislature amended its independent contractor classification law to impose a 14-part test<\/a>. In reality, it\u2019s a 27-part test because some of the parts have mandatory subparts.<\/p>\n If you\u2019re trying to engage an independent contractor in the construction industry in Minnesota, be extra careful. Construction includes commercial and residential improvement but excludes most landscaping services.<\/p>\n A collection of trade groups challenged the law, arguing that it was unconstitutionally vague and that its penalties (compensatory damages plus up to $10,000 per violation) were excessive. They sought a preliminary injunction to suspend the law while they could mount a more substantive challenge.<\/p>\n\n
