Bill > HB86

This bill, the Caregiver Leave Act, provides employees of private entities who have accrued paid sick leave the opportunity to use that sick leave for family caregiving purposes. It also enacts the Public Employee Caregiver Leave Act to provide public employees the right to use accrued sick leave for family caregiving. The bill defines key terms like "eligible employee," "family member," and "sick leave," and outlines provisions related to the use of accrued sick leave for caregiving, prohibitions on retaliation, and the implementation of the Acts. The bill includes exemptions for certain types of employment and preserves collective bargaining agreements.
