This bill requires state departments to adopt rules for a sick leave pool that includes parental leave usage, establishing employee eligibility and leave provisions.

  • Section 110.121

    may → must

    This change mandates rather than allows state departments to establish sick leave pool rules.

  • Section 110.121

    is → may

    This allows the sick leave pool to now explicitly include parental leave as an acceptable usage.

  • Section 110.121

    shall → may

    This gives flexibility to rule definitions regarding pooled leave usage and the employee's personal leave balance.

  • Section 110.121

    for parental leave. → for the employee's personal illness, accident, or injury or for parental leave.

    This clarifies that pooled sick leave can be used for either personal issues or parental leave.

  • Section 110.121

    the provisions of this section shall prevail, but only to the extent → the provisions of this section shall prevail in the event of a conflict.

    This reaffirms the authority of the sick leave pool provisions over conflicting laws.

  • Section 110.121

    parental leave → leave for the father or mother of a child who is born to or adopted by that parent.

    This provides a specific definition of what constitutes parental leave.

  • Section 110.121

    consecutive weeks of parental leave with full pay. → 4 consecutive weeks of parental leave with full pay.

    This establishes a clear limit on the duration of parental leave employees can take.

  • Section 110.121

    after the birth or adoption of a child. → only within the first 12 weeks after the birth or adoption of a child.

    This sets a timeframe for when employees can take parental leave after a child's birth or adoption.

  • Section 110.121

    the Family Medical Leave Act. → the Family Medical Leave Act.

    This ensures that parental leave coincides with the protections of the Family Medical Leave Act.
