SB 10 Alaska Senate · 34th Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act relating to family leave wage replacement coverage.

SB 10 establishes a state-run paid family leave program in Alaska, providing wage replacement coverage for eligible workers. It directly affects state employees (covered at no cost), employees of participating local governments or private employers who join the program, and individuals using a state purchasing pool. Key provisions include 100% wage replacement up to $3,000 weekly (based on recent earnings), a minimum 6-week coverage period for non-state workers, and requirements for employers with 50+ employees to handle payroll deductions. Enrollment requires 7 days of prior participation and either 35 hours/week for six months or 17.5 hours/week for 12 consecutive months with the employer.
