AI Summary

This bill would, until December 31, 2020, authorize wage replacement benefits under the Paid Family Leave program for workers who take time off work to care for a child or other family member, including those with disabilities, if that person's school or place of care has been closed or the care provider is unavailable due to the COVID-19 outbreak. The bill requires any additional costs associated with this extension of benefits to be paid from the General Fund, upon appropriation by the Legislature. The bill declares itself an urgency statute to take effect immediately in order to address the need for care due to school closures and the impact on families during the COVID-19 outbreak.
