Bill Summary
Relative to family and medical leave. Labor and Workforce Development.
AI Summary
This bill amends the Massachusetts Small Necessities Leave Act by expanding the definition of "family member" to include parents and adoptive parents, in addition to those related by blood or marriage. Specifically, it removes the language "by blood or marriage to the employee" and replaces it with "by blood, marriage, or adoption to the employee, including a parent or an adoptive." This change allows employees to take time off work to care for a wider range of family members under the existing small necessities leave provisions.
