Bill > S08795

This bill expands paid family leave benefits to certain construction employees, defining them as those who perform construction-related work for multiple employers under a collective bargaining agreement. These employees will be eligible for family leave benefits if they have worked for at least twenty-six of the last thirty-nine weeks with any employer who is signatory to a collective bargaining agreement, and their health benefits, including union health plans, will be maintained during their leave. The bill also clarifies that these extended benefits will take effect on January 1, 2027, aligning with other related legislation.
