Bill > HB06410

This bill proposes to amend existing labor laws to require employers to provide pregnant employees with 20 hours of additional paid leave specifically for pregnancy-related healthcare appointments. The paid leave is intended to be supplemental to any existing leave benefits and can be used for a variety of prenatal medical needs, such as routine checkups, ultrasound examinations, and other pregnancy-related medical appointments. The primary purpose of this legislation is to support expectant mothers by ensuring they can attend critical prenatal medical appointments without risking their employment status or losing income. By mandating this dedicated paid leave, the bill aims to promote maternal health and reduce workplace barriers that might otherwise discourage pregnant employees from seeking necessary medical care during their pregnancy.
