AN ACT CONCERNING PARTICIPATION IN THE PAID FAMILY AND MEDICAL LEAVE PROGRAM.

SB 694 allows employees enrolled in Connecticut's Paid Family and Medical Leave Insurance Program to opt out of the program entirely. This means affected employees would no longer be required to pay the associated payroll tax and would lose eligibility for program benefits. The bill amends existing statutes to create a formal withdrawal process for workers who no longer wish to participate in the state's leave insurance system. It directly impacts current participants in the program who choose to exit.
