Bill Summary
This bill proposes to extend coverage under the Parental and Family Leave Act to full-time teachers of an elementary or secondary school system or institution of higher education.
AI Summary
This bill amends the Parental and Family Leave Act in Vermont to extend its coverage to full-time teachers in elementary or secondary school systems or institutions of higher education. The Parental and Family Leave Act provides job-protected leave for employees to care for a new child or a seriously ill family member. Previously, the definition of an "employee" eligible for this leave had specific service requirements, and this bill inserts language to explicitly include full-time teachers, referencing federal regulations (29 C.F.R. § 825.102) that define what constitutes a full-time teacher for the purposes of such leave. This change will take effect on July 1, 2026.
