AI Summary

This bill amends the existing small necessities leave act in Massachusetts by expanding the definition of a family member to include parents and adoptive parents, in addition to blood or marriage relations. This change allows employees to take leave to care for a wider range of family members under the act, which provides unpaid leave for certain family and medical reasons.
