Bill Summary
AN ACT to amend the workers' compensation law, in relation to providing for paid family leave following a stillbirth
AI Summary
This bill amends the workers' compensation law to expand the definition of "family leave" to explicitly include leave taken to recover after a stillbirth. Currently, the law defines family leave as time off to care for a family member with a serious health condition, to bond with a new child within the first twelve months after birth or placement, or due to qualifying military exigencies. The bill adds a new category of leave specifically for employees who have experienced a stillbirth, recognizing the emotional and physical recovery needed after such a traumatic event. The amendment will apply to all policies or contracts issued, renewed, modified, altered, or amended on or after the first day of January following the first day of September after the bill becomes law. This change aims to provide workers with additional support and job protection during a difficult and emotionally challenging time, acknowledging the profound impact of pregnancy loss on employees.
