Bill Summary
An act relating to paid parental leave; amending s. 110.221, F.S.; defining the term "paid parental leave"; requiring the state to provide paid parental leave to certain employees for a specified time period; prohibiting the state from requiring that an employee use his or her annual or sick leave for paid parental leave; providing that the employee is entitled to accumulate specified benefits during such leave; prohibiting the state from refusing to grant such leave; providing an effective date.
AI Summary
This bill amends Florida's existing law on parental and family medical leave to define "paid parental leave" and require the state to provide 12 weeks of fully paid leave to eligible employees following the birth or adoption of a child. The bill prohibits the state from requiring employees to use their annual or sick leave during this initial 12-week period and ensures that employees can accumulate all benefits granted under paid leave status. Additionally, the bill prevents the state from refusing to grant paid parental leave or parental/family medical leave without pay for up to 6 months, and it requires the state to reinstate employees to their same or equivalent positions upon their return from such leave.
