Bill Summary

This bill strikes the requirement that a state employee be entitled to leave under the federal Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993 in order to receive paid leave under Code section 70A.24 for the birth or adoption of a child.

AI Summary

This bill removes a requirement that state employees must be eligible for leave under the federal Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993 (FMLA) in order to receive paid parental leave for the birth or adoption of a child. The FMLA is a federal law that provides eligible employees with unpaid, job-protected leave for specific family and medical reasons. By striking this condition, the bill expands access to paid parental leave for state employees in Iowa, allowing them to receive this benefit regardless of their FMLA eligibility.
