Bill > SB0072

This bill addresses family leave insurance by amending the Utah Insurance Code to introduce and define new terms related to family leave insurance. Specifically, the bill adds two new definitions to the existing insurance code: "family leave insurance" and "family member". Family leave insurance is defined as insurance that provides income replacement, medical expense coverage, or other compensation to an employee who takes time away from employment to care for a newborn, adopted, or foster child, or a family member with a serious health condition. A family member is defined as a spouse, parent, child, or any other individual specified in the insurance policy. The bill also makes several technical amendments to other sections of the insurance code, updating cross-references and making minor language adjustments. The new definitions and provisions are intended to provide clarity and support for employees seeking to take family leave while maintaining some level of financial stability through insurance coverage. The bill is set to take effect on May 7, 2025, giving insurers and employers time to adapt to the new definitions and potential insurance products.
