Bill > SF4352

This bill allows insurance companies licensed in Minnesota to offer paid family leave insurance benefits that provide wage replacement for absences not based on an individual's disability status. The bill defines key terms like "child," "family leave," and "serious health condition," and outlines the reasons for which family leave benefits may be provided, such as caring for a family member with a serious health condition, bonding with a new child, or addressing a qualifying military exigency. The bill also sets parameters around the length of the benefit period, the amount of benefits, and permissible limitations or exclusions. The bill is effective January 1, 2021.
