Bill > SB00626

This bill seeks to modify the existing paid sick leave statutes by amending section 31-57r to exclude municipalities from being defined as "employers" under the law. By making this change, municipalities would be exempted from the current requirements related to providing paid sick leave to their employees. The purpose of this legislation is to remove the obligation for local government entities to comply with the paid sick leave statutes, which likely means municipal workers would no longer be guaranteed paid sick time through this specific legal mandate. The bill appears to be a narrow, technical amendment focused on changing the definition of who is considered an employer under the existing sick leave law, effectively carving out municipalities from the statute's coverage.
