Bill Summary

AN ACT Relating to responding to federal guidance on tax 2 liability issues in the state paid family and medical leave program 3 by modifying the distribution of employer and employee contributions 4 between family and medical leave premiums without affecting how the 5 total premium is divided between employees and employers; and 6 amending RCW 50A.10.030. 7

AI Summary

This bill modifies the state's paid family and medical leave program by adjusting how employer and employee contributions, known as premiums, are allocated between family leave and medical leave benefits, without changing the overall premium rate or the division of costs between employers and employees. Specifically, it alters the rules for how much of the medical leave premium an employer can deduct from an employee's wages, and it changes the calculation for the maximum amount an employee can contribute towards family leave premiums. These changes are intended to align the program with federal tax guidance and ensure its financial stability.
