In response to legislation introduced by Rep. Jennifer Williamson in the 2017 session (HB 3087), Rep. Williamson and Sen. Kathleen Taylor convened a work group in January 2018 to examine issues concerning the development of a statewide paid family and medical leave program. Family and medical leave is protected time off from work for an employee to recover from a serious illness, care for a family member who is ill, or bond with a newborn or newly adopted child. The work group will prepare policy recommendations to the Senate Committee on Workforce and the House Committee on Early Childhood and Family Supports Committee on a legislative proposal in the 2019 legislative session.

You can find a roster of work group members below, and access documents that have been presented at work group meetings.
