Bill Summary
To expand Paid Family and Medical Leave Insurance Program benefits to employees of a local or regional board of education who do not hold professional certification under chapter 166 of the general statutes and individuals employed by a nonpublic elementary or secondary school who do not hold professional certification under chapter 166 of the general statutes.
AI Summary
This bill expands the Paid Family and Medical Leave Insurance Program to include certain school employees who do not currently have coverage. Specifically, the bill adds employees of local or regional school boards and nonpublic elementary or secondary schools who do not hold professional certification under chapter 166 as eligible for the program. The legislation modifies existing definitions of "covered public employee" and "employer" to include these school workers, allowing them to access paid family and medical leave benefits. The bill establishes an alternative method for calculating base period earnings for these school employees and ensures they can take leave for reasons such as personal or family medical conditions, organ donation, or bone marrow donation. The changes will take effect on October 1, 2025, and aim to provide more comprehensive leave protections for educational support staff who were previously excluded from the program. By broadening the definition of covered employees, the bill seeks to offer more equitable access to paid leave benefits for workers in educational settings who do not hold professional teaching certifications.
