Bill > HB06519

This bill aims to reduce the employee contribution rate for the Paid Family and Medical Leave Insurance Program (PFML) from one-half of one percent (0.5%) to four-tenths of one percent (0.4%) of an employee's subject earnings. The Paid Family and Medical Leave Insurance Trust Fund is a state program that provides financial support to employees who need to take time off work for family or medical reasons, such as caring for a newborn child, recovering from a serious illness, or caring for a family member with a serious health condition. By lowering the contribution rate, the bill would decrease the amount of money workers must contribute from their wages to fund this insurance program, potentially making it more affordable for employees while maintaining the overall benefits of the program. The bill would amend section 31-49g of the general statutes to implement this change, which would reduce the financial burden on employees participating in the PFML program.
