Labor Committee Passes Bill to Enact a State Paid Family and Medical Leave Act
Connecticut Capital
February 22, 2019

The Labor and Public Employees Committee passed a bill to enact a state Paid Family and Medical Leave Act. The bill will now be considered by both houses of the CT State Legislature.

The Labor and Public Employees Committee on Tuesday voted 9 to 5 in favor of identical measures (Senate Bill 1 and House Bill 5003), which would provide up to 12 weeks of coverage a year of paid leave for workers for their own illness or to care for an ill family member.

The bills guarantees workers will receive 100 percent of their pay — up to $1,000 per week — during their leave. It also ensures they will not be terminated or penalized for taking leave.
