This bill raises the amount of paid parental and family leave that a person may take from 13 to 24 weeks. CPAC recognizes that this quantity represents almost half of a year of paid leave, further recognizes that this mandate will constitute a burden for employers, believes that employees should negotiate their benefits with their employer without government interference, and opposed this bill. The Senate passed this bill on June 1, 2023 by a vote of 31-5 but the bill never became law.
