MODERATE
The bill was reformatted from a standard legislative document to a structured digital template (SB342_SD1). The most significant substantive change is that paid family leave is now only available to state and county employees who are part of a collective bargaining unit, whereas the original version applied to all state and county employees. The effective date was also changed from immediate approval to July 1, 2050.
Scope change
The bill's applicability was narrowed from all state and county employees to only those employees included in bargaining units pursuant to section 89-6.
ELIGIBILITY
Paid family leave eligibility was restricted to employees included in collective bargaining units pursuant to section 89-6, rather than all state and county employees.
REQUIREMENT
The requirement for paid family leave was made conditional on being negotiated into a collective bargaining agreement pursuant to section 89-9.
TIMELINE
The effective date of the Act was changed from upon approval to July 1, 2050.
TECHNICAL
