Bill > HB236

This bill establishes a family leave insurance program in Hawaii that provides up to 16 weeks of paid family leave per calendar year for eligible employees. The program is funded through employer and employee contributions and is administered by the Department of Labor and Industrial Relations. The bill expands the definition of "family member" and "child" to include a broader range of familial relationships, and eliminates the previous threshold of 100 employees for employers to be subject to the family leave law. The bill also appropriates funds to the Department of Labor and Industrial Relations to administer the program.
