B 26-0326 Legislature · 26th Council Period (2025-2026)

District Employee Paid Parental, Family, and Medical Leave Amendment Act of 2025

This bill modifies Washington, D.C.'s paid leave policies for government employees. It reduces the number of paid leave workweeks for family leave from 8 to 2 and requires non-probationary employees to sign a continuation agreement to work 12 additional weeks after leave. Employees must also provide written notice before using paid leave, including a reason within HIPAA guidelines. The changes directly affect District government employees (including independent agency staff) who qualify for parental, family, or medical leave under the revised eligibility rules.
