Bill > LB290

This bill would adopt the Paid Family and Medical Leave Insurance Act in Nebraska. The key provisions are: - Establishes a Paid Family and Medical Leave Insurance Fund, financed by contributions from covered employers, to provide benefits to eligible covered individuals for up to 12 weeks of paid family and medical leave per year. - Defines the qualifying reasons for taking paid family and medical leave, including caring for a new child, a family member with a serious health condition, a covered servicemember, or one's own serious health condition. - Specifies the calculation and payment of family and medical leave benefits, which are based on the individual's average weekly wage. - Prohibits retaliation against covered individuals for using paid family and medical leave and requires covered employers to provide written notice to employees about their rights. - Allows covered employers to meet the requirements through a private employer plan if it provides at least the same rights, protections, and benefits. - Requires the Commissioner of Labor to adopt rules and regulations and provide annual reports on the program.
