Why 3/5: The bill establishes a new employer cost, though implementation is several years away.
New premiums will be assessed to employers to fund a statewide paid family and medical leave insurance program, beginning April 1, 2028. This program will require employers to contribute to a fund that provides up to 12 weeks of paid leave for covered employees.
