AI Summary
This bill modifies the state's Family and Medical Leave Insurance (FAMLI) program by expanding the duration of paid leave available to eligible individuals. Specifically, it defines a "neonatal intensive care unit" (NICU) as a specialized facility for critically ill infants, and for claims filed on or after January 1, 2027, it adds an extra two weeks of paid FAMLI leave for individuals who have experienced the death of a family member for whom they were providing care under the program, with this additional leave needing to be used within one year of the death and within one year of the end of the application year. These changes aim to provide greater support to families during challenging times, building upon existing provisions that already allow for extended leave in certain circumstances, such as for a child in a NICU or for complications related to pregnancy and childbirth.
