HB181 removed penalties for all violations of the Family and Medical Leave Insurance Program until January 29, 2029. The substitute revised this timeline to two years for some violations, making them effective January 1, 2027, and maintains violations for § 3707 of the act-leave and employment protection and § 3708 of the act-retaliatory personnel actions prohibited.

C §1102A(a)(3).
