RELATING TO EMPLOYMENT.

HB 822 requires certain employers in the state to provide reproductive loss leave for their employees. This leave is specifically for employees experiencing pregnancy loss, such as miscarriage or stillbirth, and directly affects workers at covered employers. The bill establishes a new leave provision, mandating that eligible employers allow employees to take time off for this purpose without penalty or loss of benefits. The policy change focuses on creating a formal leave entitlement for reproductive loss events, separate from existing medical or family leave policies.
