Bill Summary

An act relating to paid family leave

AI Summary

This bill establishes a Parental and Family Leave Insurance Program in Vermont that provides up to 12 weeks of paid leave benefits to eligible employees for the birth of a child, placement of a child for adoption or foster care, or to care for the serious illness of the employee or a family member. The program is funded through contributions from both employers and employees, with the contribution rate set annually by the legislature. The bill also amends existing Vermont law to expand the definition of family and parental leave, and requires employers to provide job protections for employees taking such leave.
