Bill > HB05488

This bill proposes to amend existing Connecticut state law to require municipal employers and quasi-public agencies to participate in the Paid Family and Medical Leave Insurance Program. Specifically, the bill would modify section 31-49e of the state's general statutes to mandate that employees of municipalities and quasi-public agencies (which are typically governmental or government-affiliated organizations that provide public services but operate with some degree of independence) become eligible for the Paid Family and Medical Leave Insurance Program. The Paid Family and Medical Leave Insurance Program is a state-run insurance system that provides workers with paid time off for family or medical reasons, such as caring for a new child, dealing with a serious personal health condition, or caring for a seriously ill family member. By including municipal and quasi-public agency employees, the bill expands the coverage and accessibility of this important worker benefit, ensuring that more Connecticut workers have access to paid leave when they need it most.
