Bill > SB01223

This bill proposes an amendment to title 31 of the general statutes that would require employers to provide pregnant employees with twenty additional hours of paid leave specifically for pregnancy-related health care. The leave would be supplemental to any existing leave benefits an employee might already have, meaning it is not meant to replace other types of leave but rather to provide extra time specifically for medical appointments, check-ups, and other healthcare needs related to pregnancy. By mandating this specific type of leave, the bill aims to support pregnant workers by ensuring they have dedicated paid time to attend to their prenatal health without having to use their standard vacation, sick, or personal leave. The bill appears designed to help pregnant individuals more easily manage their healthcare needs during pregnancy without financial penalty or potential workplace complications.
