Bill > A06259

This bill amends Chapter 25 of the 2020 laws, which originally established COVID-19 sick leave requirements for employees under mandatory or precautionary quarantine or isolation orders, by specifically exempting daycare and childcare facility employers from the requirement to provide paid sick leave to their employees. The bill effectively removes the obligation for these specific types of employers to offer COVID-19-related paid sick leave, potentially reducing financial burden on childcare businesses during the pandemic. The exemption is temporary and will expire on the same date as the original section of the law, suggesting it is a targeted, time-limited measure. The bill takes effect immediately upon passage, providing an immediate relief mechanism for daycare and childcare facility employers who may have been struggling with the financial implications of mandatory paid sick leave during the COVID-19 pandemic.
