-
The Minnesota Veterans Preference Act (VPA) grants most Veterans a limited preference over non-Veterans in hiring and promotion for most Minnesota public employment positions, as granted in Minnesota Statutes 197.48, 43A.11, and 197.455. The Minnesota VPA Statutes apply to Minnesota public employment, "civil service laws, charter provisions, ordinances, rules or regulations of a county, city, town, school district, or other municipality or political subdivision of this state."
-
For Minnesota VPA purposes, Minnesota Statute 197.447 provides the definition/eligibility requirements of a "Veteran." Minnesota Statute 197.46 grants most Veterans protection against unfair dismissals and demotions from most Minnesota public positions, without first providing the Veteran a VPA hearing. Spouses of Veterans are not included. Minnesota Statute 197.46 exempts the following public positions, "Nothing in section 197.455 or this section (197.46 shall be construed to apply to the position of private secretary, superintendent of schools, or one chief deputy of any elected official or head of a department, or to any person holding a strictly confidential relation to the appointing officer."
