AN ACT TO AMEND TITLE 19 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO FAMILY AND MEDICAL LEAVE INSURANCE PROGRAM.

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. For those employers who do not remit contribution collected from employees, as the Family and Medical Leave Insurance Program allows, this will be a violation considered wage theft under 19 Del. C §1102A(a)(3).
